There’s something about the Lake Sturgeon that pulls you into its story. A living dinosaur, virtually unchanged for 130 million years, survived a meteor impact and all the challenges Earth could throw its way. But it couldn’t survive the heavy hand of mankind. This is the story of the people who said extinction isn’t inevitable for our beloved dinosaur fish. There’s hope to overcome a 99% loss of Lake Sturgeon in the Great Lakes and it can be seen here. Thanks to for this incredible opportunity. Link to the Dinosaur Fish Film in bio.

Many of our natural spaces in the Great Lakes region depended on fire as a way to maintain health and species diversity. As our development reached further into the natural settings and humanity’s relationship with fire changed, people spent decades keeping fire out of the landscape. Today, one of the most important tools in ecological restoration is returning fire to the land through prescribed burning. This work has direct positive impacts on some of the most threatened species in the region. Link to the film in bio.

Those special places where you can go that nurture the soul, somebody put in the work to protect them. Estivant Pines is one of Michigan’s finest examples of a protected natural space that has a way of inspiring you beyond words. The feeling you get as you walk through a cathedral of 400 year old White Pines is indescribable, you just have to do it to understand. And we can do this, thanks to several pioneers in Michigan conservation, who refused to let these White Pines go the way of so many others. Link to video in bio.
