Like you and some others, I would like to see less fencing and the occasional bison herd when I drive out on the great plains, not cows, winter wheat, cotton and corn. Some interesting ideas to reclaim that land, for sure, and probably more to come. Hopefully, some of those concepts are refined to take into Desert Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952727692048782529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-26360827983814014932012-05-02T23:23:44.636-05:002012-05-02T23:23:44.636-05:00Great post.

An island here in the Great Salt Lake is left free range to a herd of bison...at least they don't have to worry about them leaving, I guess.Susan in the Pink Hathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472502621591870369noreply@blogger.com
