Plains
This landscape hosts critical biodiversity and is home to hardworking communities. Hear from those working together to foster resiliency for rural communities and their ecosystems, in the midst of land ownership changes and increasing drought.
This critical wildlife habitat and corridor is also home to people whose lives are guided by the land.
