This summer was one of great privilege for me. I was contracted as a field monitor for the environmental organization Western Watersheds Project to document impacts of grazing on public lands in the west. Over the course of my contract I took thousands of photographs of heavily grazed watersheds and riparian areas. It was a real eye opener and introduction to the issues of land use for industry on public lands. Something of which I had been fairly unaware, taking for granted these degraded areas as the norm.
I will share some of those photos on my site later but this post is for some of the other images I captured – the pretty ones. These are mostly from central Idaho but there is one from Utah as well.
