What to do about sprawl with Ken Mirr
The American West is changing fast, and one of the biggest forces shaping that change is development. Sprawl – those 35-acre subdivisions and ranchettes you see spreading across the landscape – can mean paradise for some, and the unraveling of communities, wildlife habitat and productive landscapes for others.
Today we’re talking about what’s driving that growth, what it means for landowners and rural economies and what kinds of solutions might help us strike a balance between private property rights, conservation and community needs.
On the show today, our CEO Lesli Allison sits down with Ken Mirr, founder of Mirr Ranch Group and longtime land broker who has worked at the intersection of ranching, conservation and real estate for decades.
