About this episode
This episode offers an insightful look into Michigan's ecological history, particularly focusing on the White Pine Era and its ramifications. As logging operations ravaged the landscape, the narrative shifts to the inspiring figure of Bud Overholzer, who, rather than succumbing to despair over the environmental loss, chose to channel his creativity into crafting the Shrine of the Pines.
