We, fellow Americans and friends around the world, highly resolve that they shall not have died in vain. May we never forget the sacrifices they made, and may we never forget the sacrifices of innumerable people around the earth for the cause of democratic government. And—indulging in a little American exceptionalism—may we never forget that ours is a rare country defined not by ethnicity, religion, or language, but by liberty, equality, and justice; and that it is our great privilege to inherit these values, and our great duty to build on that foundation to express those values more broadly and inclusively, in an ever more perfect union. https://mattkbarnes.com/field-notes/colorado-public-lands-day-prescribed-fire-celebration monthly 0.5 2025-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ddc252d3ba8f71b9de8f0f/1747609384033-OHAL5JBQOV91TCYIW8HY/20250517_131236.jpg Field Notes -

Forests decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish, but grass is immortal...Its tenacious fibers hold the earth in place and prevent its soluble components from washing to the wasting sea.” —John James Ingalls The Great Sage Plain, a broad grassy ridge that divides the canyons of the Dolores and San Juan watersheds, on the eastern Colorado Plateau in view of the San Juan Mountains, was farmed during the 1200s and again in the 1900s. This spot is now perennial pasture, having been seeded when it was enrolled in the USDA’s Conservation Reserve Program. It’s heavily dominated by intermediate wheatgrass, which isn’t native but is far preferable to invasive cheatgrass; and there are native plants now coming back. The ranch now has a well-thought-out grazing plan, and is mostly grazed in the dormant season by a cattle producer who has combined numerous leases into a functional livestock business. The place has a long and complex history with people, plants, and animals. It would make a great research ranch.

Pathways Conference - Make it stand out I presented a project in Wyoming, where I worked with ranchers to herd cattle using low-stress livestock handling methods. There had been confirmed predation loss by grizzly bears in previous years, and there was no more confirmed predation loss for the three years of the project. The people who most fully adopted lows-stress livestock handling had the most benefit, reducing both predation and total death loss. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ddc252d3ba8f71b9de8f0f/22cf905d-9d6d-422f-b170-23357170877e/4.png Events - Pathways Conference - Make it stand out I presented a poster along with Courtney Vail of the Rocky Mountain Wolf Project on Colorado’s ‘Born to be Wild’ license plate, which supports ranchers AND wolves. The plate raised over $640,000 in its first year and surpassed the $1 million mark in September, after only 21 months.
