This program begins with an armchair tour of the river in New Hampshire and Vermont, exploring history and natural beauty across the seasons and among the communities that have sprung up along it. Much more than a travelogue, the program explores the many issues involved in managing the health of this major river, and how citizens from all walks of life have created a vision for the future.
