Sounds absolutely wonderful and what an inspiring man Sean Gerrity is. I grew up in Africa where we loved the wildlife reserves. We found it so desperately sad that so often Americans would visit in order to shoot and kill the beautiful wildlife but here, now, you have this amazing American man who is doing what he can to rewild the prairies. There is indeed a heaven!
I am restoring a30 acre oak savanna all by myself. oak savanna is even more endangered than the big prairies. It's too ban more people don't care about the environment right here in the USA.
What about when the Yellowstone Supervolcano goes off. Would it not be safer to have smaller parks spread out. Also, do you want to have city farms and large parks, or do you want to have a lot of cheap land that can be used for wildlife and people together. But, overall I like it.
If we can merge native Indians with forest parks and reserves then they can do what they love and protect the wilderness and be like park rangers and allow programs for any one to be like a Indian and help the animals and wilderness. =] park rangers will rule the world some day.
Native American's are just like me and you.... they don't necessarily want to protect the wilderness, they don't give a hoot about it. Besides that, you want to move the reservations??? How would that even work? You take their land away and promise them better land and force them to move? That's like telling everyone in Chicago that they all have to leave their homes and lives behind, they all lose their jobs and we are going to build them a city in the wilderness, which would no longer be wilderness if you built a city in it.... you'd be destroying what you think we need to protect, btw where these people are building their reserve already is protected by private parties, this land is inhabited by ranchers, and a lot of them, this isn't exactly wilderness, but apart from the national parks, this is the closest thing we have. The ranchers have done a tremendous job protecting it and managing it, they've been doing it for hundreds of years, now these bunny huggers move in and tell everyone that they are going to save it... it doesn't need saving, there isn't any developing going on here, not much breaking up of ground or anything, sure in the rest of the county there is farms, but where these people are "saving it" is upwards of 60 miles from the nearest town. A town that isn't expanding enough to matter, there is no Wal-marts or McDonalds or a mall within a 200 mile radius of this place, it is under no threat. Fastest disappearing pieces of the American West my ass.
These ideas always sound good, but we have learned of the ugly side of these groups from experiences in Oregon through Montana. Look at their staff page and you will see little in the way of scientists. Their cadre of advisers is not diverse, nor do they exhibit on-the-land experience.

Kudos to your efforts!
It is so good to see humans put things back. What an inspirational project
Excelent. This is the future of conservation.
I really like this idea ! like to help !
This is a great idea. Should have been done yonks ago

I hope something similar happens to the South Western USA.

What the world needs is rational thought, not naive emotions. Go out and actually research your idea, then get back to us.

“Wildsky Beef”, huh. A bunch of billionaires are going to dictate how our beef is produced an set prices? No thanks.
It's just a farm that works alongside nature. That's what makes it different. We need more farms that work with nature, not against it.
