The Connecticut River is a haven for raptors, sea birds and dozens of species of migrating fish. It was also once home to some of the most polluting industries in the country. This summer, reporter Ben James rode his bicycle the full length of the river. In the second part of our series, he talks to people in those formerly industrial communities about changes on and alongside the river – for better and for worse.

Once a ‘floating sewer,’ changes to the Connecticut River contribute to rebirth, hardship

My plan was to start out at the Connecticut River’s source, but that plan was ridiculous. A river has no source; it has only a hundred thousand sources: rivulets following improvised channels to streams that feed its major or minor tributaries. So, despite what’s written on the map, the Connecticut River that flows out of what’s called Fourth Connecticut Lake at the Quebec border is no river. It’s a runnel, a rill, a mere pipsqueak of a waterway. It’s a dude with an idea and a GoFundMe page. If this streamlet bore a sign, it’d say, seeking contributions.

The sun was high when musician Son Little arrived at Anderson Park on the campus of the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado. While looking for a shady place to capture this Field Recording, we trekked down a steep rocky trail, all the way to the edge of the nearby Roaring Fork River, only to find it too tight for our crew and musical guest. And because the river was indeed roaring, we headed back to the top of the hill to record this intimate set.
