Ranching Where the Old West and New West Collide In-Person
Rooted at the Edge: Ranching Where the Old West and New West Collide – Thursday, August 14 (5:30 pm)
The urban-rural fringe is both valuable and vulnerable. Across the West, a way of life and a way of work are vanishing. Ranchland is simultaneously cherished by families for the lives they’ve made there and coveted by urban neighbors for open space. Community residents may love a place for its scenery and wildlife habitat while others wish it converted to a commercial parking lot. Complex ecological relationships can be bulldozed in a single afternoon. Join us in the Community Room for this free author event as Donna Erickson discusses her book Rooted at the Edge, which conveys, in a way that statistics cannot, what’s at stake when ranches at the urban fringe are threatened.
