On this episode of “Arizona Horizon,” we sit down with Will Humble, executive director at the Arizona Public Health Association, to learn about this year’s West Nile virus season, which could be among the worst in 20 years. The agency confirmed at least 48 cases across 23 states, 35 of which it says originated in Arizona.
We also hear from James Kilgore, vice president of The Way Foundation, to learn more about how the foundation creates life-enhancing experiences for people who have experienced trauma, illness or life-altering disabilities.
Finally, Greg Clark, who coordinated habitats for burrowing owls, speaks on how a solar farm is doing more than generating renewable energy — it is also providing a safe haven for displaced burrowing owls. The project not only gives the birds a new place to live but also allows researchers to study how they adapt to living next to the large-scale solar facility.
