About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of land fragmentation on wildlife movement in the American West and the role of private landowners in conservation efforts.

In this episode of the Land Investor podcast, Matt and Ryan sit down with Hillary Rosner, environmental journalist and author of Roam: Wild Animals and the Race to Repair Our Fractured World , to dig into how land fragmentation is reshaping wildlife movement across the American West and what private landowners can actually do about it. Hillary breaks down why more than 80% of species depend on private land at some point in their life cycle, and how choices around fencing, development, and conservation easements have a direct impact on connectivity for elk, pronghorn, mule deer, and the full web of species that depend on their movement. If you own land in the West, or want to, this conversation reframes what good stewardship looks like at a landscape scale. Don't miss out on the latest news in the land sphere!
