‘[Un]Natural Selection’ series creators at Ludington library.

LUDINGTON — Interlochen Public Radio’s award-winning podcast Points North, host Dan Wanschura and lead producer Patrick Shea will be at the Mason County District Library Ludington branch on Wednesday, September 7 at 5:30 p.m. to discuss their series “[Un]Natural Selection.” 

The series examines humans’ role as part of the ecosystem and explores the ethical line between mending the natural world and meddling with it. 

Today, environmental agencies across the country spend much of their time and money responding to problems past generations have created and trying to foresee future challenges. Foreign insects are introduced to control other foreign insects that are devastating plant life. Erosion control is attempted on the Great Lakes, but the short-term fixes make long-term problems. 

How do we know we’re fixing nature’s problems, not creating more?
