On this episode of Weekends with Yankee, cohost Richard Wiese experiences the thrill of the Kennebec River, New England’s top whitewater rafting destination. Then we rise with the sun in Bremen, Maine, and head out with the “puffin man,” National Audubon researcher Stephen Kress, who almost single-handedly returned puffin pairs, and their pufflings, back to Maine. Finally, cohost Amy Traverso joins Connecticut chef and foraging expert Bun Lai to learn how to find delicious food in unexpected places.
