Dreaming of the Ogallala :: The First Day

Dreaming of the Ogallala :: The First Day

Our dreaming about how to #RegenerateTheOgallala begins…

We arrived in Amaraillo, Texas and were received by our friend Will Masters who has been doing dryland restoration work in these beautiful landscapes for several years now.

Our first few days will be spent at Kritser Ranch — a 33,000 acre piece of land that seems to go on forever. As we journey into stream beds that no longer have flows of water, I can feel what it would take to restore their former abundance.

We are already deep in conversations about intergenerational change among those who own this land, how to organize learning processes that restore ecosystems and recharge the aquifers below our feet.

While almost no one talks about regenerating the entire Great Plains, we know that it is necessary and possible. But it will take the wholesale transformation of private land ownership, the collapse of industrial agriculture, very different models of collaboration, and the return of ancestral lifeways that were here before colonization.

And yet we dream, for this is how it all begins.

Onward, fellow humans.
