Life in the Land: Big Hole Valley, Rancher Jim Hagenbarth

Jim Hagenbarth is a cattle rancher near Glen, Montana, in the Big Hole Valley. Jim tells us what he wants the public to know about a rancher's role as a steward of the land, the success and challenges of collaborative work, and the impacts of droughts, not only to ranchers, but on the sustainability of open space and connected ecosystems.

The Life in the Land project is a series of films and podcasts that share the success of collaborative, locally-led work on the land, as well as share the nuance in how to hold healthy relationships with the land and one another, to benefit people and place.
