We’re delighted to announce the official release of the pilot episode of the docuseries Destination Regeneration. You can watch the 26-minute episode now for free.

Destination Regeneration is a project of the non-profit Soil Health Academy. It is filmed and edited by Emmy-nominated filmmakers Joe Dickie and Forrest Fox and created by Emmy-nominated executive producer, Ron Nichols.

“Because we have so many amazing stories to tell, this is the first of what we hope will be many future episodes featuring a wide range of (seemingly) desperate stories of struggle, hope and triumph—all connected by the pressing need to regenerate the health of our living and life-giving soil,” Nichols said.

Do you know how many bird species call your farm/ranch home?

🦅🌿 Grassland Birds Are Disappearing - We Can Help!

Did you know that grassland birds in North America are declining faster than any other bird species? Most of this is due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and the spread of non-native species. But there's hope! 🌱

By working with ranchers who use sustainable grazing practices and restoring grasslands with diverse native plants, we can create healthy ecosystems for both birds and people. 🌼

It's not just about saving the birds—grasslands provide clean air, clean water, and sustainable opportunities for all of us. 🌍 Let's support healthy habitats and bring these birds back to our landscapes. 🙌
