Having moved out to remote areas of Montana for work after college, Melissa DiNino (@melissa_dinino) found herself in places that were steeped in quiet contemplation.

As a range rider, she worked at the heart of small ranching communities where she monitored cattle and tracked wolves and grizzlies by horseback.

She learned how the resiliency of rural communities relies on its relationships - both human and non-human. When she began painting in 2018, she turned to the subject matter that was most familiar - the rural west and traditional ties to the landscape, but through a feminine lens.

For those farmers and ranchers passionate about the stewardship of their local natural resources, this is your big chance. Local conservation district boards and FSA committees shape how USDA resources are spent in your county. Nominations, including self-nominations, are open until August 2nd. You can find links to more information from the USDA, including whether your county board has positions up for election, at the story linked in our bio.

The lesser prairie-chicken is facing endangered listing.⠀
⠀
Starting Jun 1, 2021, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) began a public comment period on the proposed listing for the lesser prairie-chicken under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The public comment period closes August 2, 2021. At this point, the action is a proposed listing. After the FWS reviews all comments, the final listing decision is expected by June 2022.⠀
⠀
The listing, as proposed, would establish two distinct population segments of the lesser prairie-chicken. The population segments are divided by a straight line drawn southeast from an area east of Lake Isabel, Colorado to an area south of Energy, Texas (see map below). Populations north of the dividing line are proposed to be listed as threatened, and populations to the south are proposed to be listed as endangered. ⠀
