A helitack crew looks to land after setting off some test ignitions during the Sunnyside prescribed burn near Aspen, CO.

This week on "Regional Roundup": As the Trump administration moves to cut federal funding for public media, we look at what’s at stake for community radio. We also report on a recent prescribed burn in western Colorado and how land managers use fire to reduce the risk of future wildfires. Then, a closer look at the impact of untested rape kits on sexual assault survivors. And finally, we join a group of naturalists on the search for snakes.
