Produced by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Conservation Northwest, and filmmakers Ted Grudowski and Darrin Gunkel, This Land Is Part of Us shows the importance of shrub-steppe in central Washington’s Columbia Basin. It’s a land of rich biodiversity, vibrant communities, and poignant beauty.
