Grant Reiner

Grant is a producer with the Platte Basin Timeline and has been part of PBT since 2017.  Grant is a graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife and a Masters Degree of Applied Science with an emphasis in Science Communication.  Grant is passionate about conservation of natural spaces by the blending of art and science.  Learning is a life time process for Grant.  His ever growing curiosity is what drives him to tell stories around a watershed with PBT.   Outside of work, he enjoys gardening/landscaping with his wife and two dogs, exploring sild spaces, hunting, and fishing.  

The Platte River Basis is a watershed in the heart of North America.  A watershed is like a giant bathtub that collects and drains the rain, groundwater and snowmelt of an area.  The Platte River Basin is one of the most appropriate river systems in the world.  Every drop of water is spoken for, and little is free.  The Platte Basin Timeline team seeks to deepen appreciation and care for our natural world through the power of story.
