Back in November 2021, we shared with you a short documentary on restoration, rehabilitation, and cooperation in the Great Basin, Miracle in the Desert, filmed by Little Wild, a production company owned and operated by our own Chris Harvey’s kin: nephew and wife Steve and Abbey Kinion.

Little Wild has been at it again, recently releasing the12-minute documentary, The Humboldt Ranch Story. The story of the Humboldt Ranch is about how a change in livestock grazing practices on a ranch in northeastern Nevada is transforming gullies to wetlands, and landscapes to lifescapes. Humboldt Ranch encompasses more than 140 miles of streams and over 350,000 acres of mixed public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management, and private lands owned by Nevada Gold Mines. Collectively, these lands support important habitat for an abundance of wildlife including Nevada’s native Lahontan cutthroat trout.
