About this listen
Welcome to Awe Nice, that’s a-w-e-n-i-c-e, where we highlight moments of wonder while working outdoors.
This week, I interviewed Matt Barnes. Like me, Matt lives here in southwestern Colorado. He’s been a rangeland scientist for years and has also worked as a ranch manager. His focus, as he mentions briefly and as has been shaped by his observations and experiences, has been hewn to how can we all get along on this planet. Specifically, how can us humans, especially those working the land, coexist with wildlife and choose practices that benefit not just us as well as domestic animals, but the land and wildlife? For this segment, Matt describes a dicey moment when he was working in the Selkirk Mountains of northern Idaho, not far from British Columbia, Canada.
Matt shared a few more recollections, not grizzly encounters but still great and which we’ll feature in upcoming segments. So stay tuned!
