RANGELAND RESTORATION

Against the Herd

Almost a century of poorly managed grazing degraded millions of acres of America’s public lands. But Cottonwood Ranch has discovered that cattle can actually be the key to restoring our rangelands.

Now the Smith family must convince legislators and agencies that cows aren't always eco-villains, or they’re sure to lose their land.

RANCHING WITH WILDLIFE

Grizzlies and Grazing

Grizzlies and Grazing is a film that explores how the fate of these iconic landscapes and their inhabitants hangs in a delicate balance, where the survival of both grizzlies and ranchers are deeply intertwined.

COLLABORATION IN CONSERVATION

The Fish and the Flame

This award-winning short film shows how Tim Haarmann, ranch manager at Banded Peak Ranch, and Jim White, a biologist with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, teamed up to save one of the last remaining populations of nearly-extinct San Juan cutthroat trout, just as a wildfire threatens to decimate the fish.
