SUMMARY:PRESERVED — One Night Only In Salt Lake City
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special Salt Lake City screening of PRESERVED\, followed by a live conversation with director Ben Clark\, UtahMountain Lion Conservation’s Denise Peterson\, climate activist and professional skimountaineer Caroline Gleich\, and Idaho Resource Coordinator for Western Landowners Alliance Lane Justus.  \nWhat if we could fix the mistakes of the past?\nSet against the breathtaking landscape of Vermejo\, a 558\,000-acre reserve in northern New Mexico\, PRESERVED tells the remarkable story of one of the largest restoration efforts in the American West. \nOnce heavily impacted by mining\, overgrazing\, and the loss of native species\, Vermejo has become a living example of what is possible when people make the decision to restore landscapes. \nFilmed over more than 130 days\, PRESERVED follows the scientists\, land managers\, conservationists\, and wildlife at the center of that transformation—from the return of native trout and restoration of streams to bison\, beavers\, bears\, and mountain lions. \nThe result is something increasingly rare: a film about the environment that leaves you hopeful.

SUMMARY:Where the Wild Things Graze: A Night of Films Celebrating the Rangelands That Sustain Our World
DESCRIPTION:(Want to see the latest WLA film Three Creeks in theaters? Here’s your chance! Learn more about the new movie here.)\nLook out your window in the Roaring Fork Valley and much of what you see is rangeland. On April 2\, 6-8 pm you are invited to learn about the remarkable story of these landscapes and the people who have called them home for generations. \nRangelands cover nearly half of the Earth’s unfrozen surface\, supporting incredible biodiversity\, storing carbon\, producing food\, and sustaining the lives of hundreds of millions of people\, from Colorado ranchers to nomadic herders on the Mongolian steppe. Despite their vastness\, these ecosystems are among the most overlooked on Earth; that’s beginning to change. At the urging of over 102 nations\, the United Nations\nhas designated 2026 as the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists\, and two local rangeland specialists are bringing that global call back home to Carbondale. \nFilms From Around the Globe \nThe April 2nd event will feature a curated selection of short films from around the world- screened to support the UN’s International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists. Each film provides a view into landscapes and ways of life that few of us ever see\, broadening our understanding of the people and land that feed the world. \nSpecial Presentations by Two Remarkable Voices \nDr. Maria Fernández-Giménez | Retired Professor of Rangeland Ecology & Management\, Colorado State University \nDr. Fernández-Giménez has spent more than three decades studying pastoral communities in the American West\, Spain\, and Mongolia — where she was among the first Western scientists to conduct field research after the country’s transition from Communism. Her contributions have been recognized at the highest levels: in 2016\, Mongolia awarded her the Order of the Polar Star — the country’s highest civilian\nhonor for foreign nationals\, previously bestowed upon Hillary Clinton and John McCain. With over 100 peer-reviewed publications\, she offers rare depth to the story of the world’s pastoralists. \nMeriwether Hardie | Explorer\, Storyteller & Author \nSome people study the land. Meriwether Hardie lives it. After growing up on a family farm in Vermont\, she spent a year as an environmental journalism fellow with Bill McKibben — then bought a horse for $200 in Argentina and rode from Patagonia to Bolivia on horseback\, voice recorder in hand\, to report on indigenous communities caught between tradition and modernity. In 2025\, she traded that trail for the dirt roads of the rural American West. She is now writing a book on the future of Western working lands\, drawn from conversations at the end of those driveways — with ranchers\, Indigenous families\, and conservationists navigating change. \nLocally Rooted\, Globally Connected \nThe event is organized by Sami Dinar\, a local rangeland management specialist\, and Retta Bruegger of CSU Extension — both deeply involved in the rangelands and agricultural communities of the Roaring Fork Valley. \nCol“The Roaring Fork Valley is known for its world-class skiing\, recreation\, and stunning landscapes — but many people don’t realize that agriculture is also part of this community\, literally woven into the land we love. We wanted to bring visibility to the issues that impact ranchers here and pastoralists globally\, and to build appreciation for rangelands and the people who depend on them.” — Sami Dinar\, Event Organizer \nAdmission is free. Seating is limited. \nPre-register to guarantee your spot — and enjoy a complimentary popcorn and drink on us. \nhttps://970tix.com/events/rangelandfilms \nWednesday\, April 2\, 2026 • 6 – 8 PM \nThe Crystal Theatre • 427 Main St. • Carbondale\, Colorado

SUMMARY:PRESERVED: The Story of Ted Turner's Vermejo
DESCRIPTION:GUEST SPEAKERS INCLUDE  DEB HAALAND\, BEN CLARK\, LANCE BERNAL\, ABQ TROUT UNLIMITED REP. HARRIS KLEIN\, and WESTERN LANDOWNERS ALLIANCE’S ANABELLA MILLER! \nIn an era of wildfires\, drought\, and species decline\, Vermejo is proof that ecosystem restoration is possible. And it’s a blueprint for where it can happen next. PRESERVED is more than a film—it’s a call to action. From farmers and ranchers to hikers and hunters\, we all have a role to play.  For nearly 175 years\, the Southwestern United States has seen civilizations rise and fall\, leaving behind landscapes stripped by time and industry. Northern New Mexico’s 560\,000-acre Vermejo is one such place—a land rich with history\, from dinosaurs and early Indigenous communities to homesteaders\, a conservation-minded grain baron\, and Hollywood’s glitterati seeking outdoor recreation. But modern times took their toll\, leaving it overgrazed and scarred by mining.  In 1996\, Ted Turner bought the land as part of his work to restore and protect lands across the United States. A dedicated team began to work to heal the land\, transforming it into a thriving sanctuary. Today\, Vermejo stands as a testament to what’s possible: biodiversity restored\, landscapes reborn\, and a model for global conservation.

SUMMARY:Preserved at The Lyric Theater
DESCRIPTION:Preserved unveils Vermejo—a 558\,000-acre living laboratory where rarely seen wildlife behaviors unfold: bears stealing mountain lion kills\, microscopic life thriving in seasonal potholes\, and animals adapting to a rapidly changing world. In this feature-length documentary\, scientists\, ranchers\, and conservationists reveal how the seemingly impossible has been achieved here\, from North America’s largest native trout restoration to the return of beaver\, elk\, and bison. Rich in discovery and layered with human history\, Vermejo stands as the pinnacle of conservation in the U.S.—and a bellwether for what’s possible elsewhere. \nIn 1996\, media mogul Ted Turner purchased this vast expanse in northern New Mexico and launched an ambitious conservation vision. Vermejo’s iconic Park Plateau has been home to Indigenous communities\, homesteaders\, and roaming herds of bison and elk. In the 19th century\, mining stripped the land\, leaving scars that would take generations to heal. \nShot over more than 130 days\, Preserved takes viewers deep into this breathtaking landscape\, following the passionate stewards working to restore this thriving ecosystem. In an era of wildfires\, drought\, and species collapse across the American Southwest\, Vermejo is living proof that restoration is not only possible—it’s happening. And it’s a blueprint for what comes next. \nGet tickets today!
