As a recent recipient of a cultural preservation grant from Humanities Kansas, the Ranchland Trust of Kansas (RTK) is proud to announce it has been given an opportunity to document history. The grant will fund a collaboration with Mark Feiden on his project, Emil Redmon’s Cow - Stories From the Farm and Ranch.
The collaboration will expand on Feiden’s current project, with a focus on preserving the prairie. The Grassland Conservation Series will consist of a set of interviews conducted by Feiden over the next month that will highlight grassland conservation and stewardship. Those slated to be interviewed thus far include Glenn and Barbara Walker, Brookville; Matt and Tom Perrier, Dalebanks Angus, Eureka; Heather Fuesz and Irlene Huntington, Eureka; and Bill and Peggy Sproul, Sedan.
RTK is especially interested in reaching future generations and those who may not understand the value of prairie conservation, grasslands or the threats they face. The series will be accessible to the public through the ever-growing Emil Redmon’s Cow archive located at www.markfeiden.com. It also will be available through RTK media and communications platforms.
