Sagebrush
The sagebrush steppe is a vast and important ecosystem reaching 14 states. Many species, like Greater Sage-Grouse, are found only in sagebrush steppe. Despite this, people often overlook its beauty, value, and even existence. Only half of it remains today, and what does is rapidly being degraded and lost to invasive grasses, oil and gas development, and farming.
For the National Audubon Society, I create images, films, and stories that raise awareness and appreciation for this spectacular ecosystem.
