In 2001, American Prairie made an appearance in Montana with the goal to stitch together private and public lands in Eastern Montana to create a large grassland reserve. By buying ranches from willing sellers, the group – once known as the Prairie Foundation, American Prairie Foundation, and American Prairie Reserve – has become a lightning rod for criticism, legislation and political divisiveness. This is in part because it has stocked some of its land with bison. Recently, the Bureau of Land Management gave final approval to the group to alter grazing plans on federal lands to accommodate bison, reigniting the long simmering feud. On this week's episode Brett French, outdoors and natural resources reporter the Billings Gazette discusses the contentious history of American Prairie's attempt to create a native grassland prairie inhabited by bison.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
To celebrate the Bloustein School's approaching 30th anniversary in 2022, EJBTalks will feature some of our beloved faculty members who made the school what it is today. The first of those is Professor Emeritus Frank Popper, who spent over three decades teaching in our world-ranked urban planning program. Professor Popper shares his incredible "accidental academic" story, where he went from land use and environmental consultant to renowned researcher and the co-proposer of the concept of the Buffalo Commons. Frank talks in-depth with Stuart Shapiro about the Commons, its history, its significance, and the current economic and environmental signs that confirm the idea that the depopulated center of the country should capitalize on its heritage as the home of the buffalo. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ejbtalks/message
You can't have a conversation with Tyree Woods without leaving with a smile on your face. The man with the infectious smile and positive attitude has had his share of trails and tribulations. During this episode of the OE podcast, Tyree describes growing up in Muskegon Heights, MI as a biracial kid, and how foster care helped him forge the resiliency necessary to adapt to a Army life. A veteran of two combat tours in Afghanistan, Tyree describes the bonds formed through combat and why the loss of that brotherhood after leaving the Army led him to create his current band, Buffalo Commons. Along the way, Tyree gives us a taste of his "Soulgrass" style with songs that are "just poems put to music":Cannibal Jones: A song about an urban Robin HoodMonday : A song about a life-changing event in Afghanistan in 2012Tangled: A song about living life in the momentIf you enjoy Tyree's music, you can find him in the Steamboat Springs, CO area.Become part of the Buffalo Commons "Herd" at BuffaloCommansBand.comSupport the show (http://www.operationencore.org)
Tyree Woods, lead singer of Buffalo Commons, co-hosts today and what an amazing chat we had. Could have easily gone on longer, but he had a show to do in Leadville, CO to get to. Tyree has a new single that is coming out titled "Monday" and it describes a very intense day during his deployment to FOB Bostick, Afghanistan. A very revealing song and one that Tyree describes as a deep healing that has helped him to become the husband, father and human he is today. The song plays a just past the first verse during the episode, but plays to the end as a wrap up. Through the process of healing through his music meant that he needed to be apart of a team, with like minded individuals, so he started a band named Buffalo Commons. They have an album coming out this summer, so be looking out for that. Also, if your in the CO area, they play all over the place. Enjoy Tyree everyone, a Veteran healing and helping others heal through his music. Stay blessed and keep spreading the word about the wonderful conversations with the amazing Veterans who co-host on the show. HOV©2020
Buffalo Commons live at Cervantes Other Side in Denver, CO. Live audio was recorded by Kirk Hubbard and the episode was edited and produced by Max Paley. Pick and Howl also played at Cervantes this same night.
Michael Hodge joins the show as co-host today and highlights the need for a "Mentor" in the transition process. Without a doubt, Michael has been down a path that most don't get to go down. As an older Soldier and Leader during GWOT, he had multiple injuries to his ankles and knees, but after numerous surgeries and years of rehab he is still out there helping Veterans. Michael's message of getting a mentor to help get through the tough beginning times as a Veteran and to keep the process tight, becoming a Mentor yourself. I very much enjoyed the insight that he brought in regards to living for those that gave it all. Would that buddy be out there mixing it up, smiling, taking care of his or her family? If the answer is yes, then you need to re-eval the path that your on. I hope this episode serves many Veterans well. Thanks again Michael for your amazing insight. Don't forget about Buffalo Commons, they are performing at the Yarmony Grass Festival in Rancho Del Rio, CO. Right on the river folks. This is going to be an amazing event! August 8-11, they take the stage on Friday. If you go, get pics and link up with Tyree and the Band, tell em HOV sent ya!! Here is the link to the "Traveler" being performed by them too. Nick Sterling and the Nomads are heading into the studio folks, should be churning out some music shortly. Nick and the show are working to fit schedules and bring an amazing episode for you all. Going to be a fun, stay tuned! Wounded Warrior Peer-Mentor Program: Get involved! Help another Veteran get him/herself back on to as close to normal as possible. Don't let a Veteran NOT get that Mentor, so valuable in transitioning. Stay safe out there and blessings. Continue sharing the podcast, only way we can reach the Veterans that need it.

Twenty years ago, academics Frank and Deborah Popper wrote what they thought would be a little-noticed, four page article subtitled "A Daring Proposal for Dealing with an Inevitable Disaster," which argued that current agricultural use of much of the Great Plains is simply not sustainable. They advocated for a "Buffalo Commons," a return of large tracts of land back to native species, including buffalo, and a revisioned economy that encouraged ecotourism. To the Poppers’ surprise, their conclusions ignited a firestorm among residents, who labelled the Poppers as East Coast heretics. But over the past two decades, the couple's predictions have seemed more and more prophetic. Plains states have suffered dramatic population loss, and families have sold or even abandoned farms and cattle ranches through the region. The situation is particularly difficult in northeastern Montana, where Long Haul spoke with lifelong residents about a current plan very similar in spirit to the one the Poppers proposed in 1987. There, outsiders are purchasing large tracts of land with plans to reintroduce thousands of bison and other native species, restoring a pre-settlement landscape. Most residents don’t welcome the change – and those that embrace it, like South Dakotan Sam Hurst, are being forced to sell before their buffalo dreams can become reality. Produced in 2007; this description is from the original broadcast.
