Focusing on the significance of the prairie biome, Richard Manning explores the historical and cultural connections between grasslands and humanity. He weaves the story of elk reclaiming ancestral plains with a critique of America's expansion and land management practices. Manning highlights efforts by botanists and biologists to restore native grasses, tracks the return of buffalo to the wild, and visits Ted Turner's ranch. This exploration reveals the importance of grasslands in understanding our natural heritage and offers insights into sustainable living in harmony with the land.
