Welcome to the On Land podcast. On this show we'll be bringing you thoughtful conversations with the people who are living and working on the land and shaping the future of stewardship in the American West.
Science! Fish! Irrigation! with the Henrys Fork Foundation
If you aren't a fly fishing sicko, you might not be familiar with the Henry's Fork in eastern Idaho. This place is a trout's dream, with an incredible amount of insect and aquatic life that gets these fish to grow big, and get very, very picky. The Henry's Fork sits in some of the most productive irrigated agricultural land in the American West (Idaho potatoes are famous for a reason!) And there is certainly tension between these two main economic drivers of the American West: recreation and agriculture. That's where the Henry's Fork Foundation comes into play.
In today's episode, we talked with three HFF science team members about how science, landowners, and conservation can work together. Thanks to Rob Van Kirk, HFF's science and technology program director, Jack McLaren, aquatic ecology program manager, and Christina Morrissett, climate adaptation program manager, for joining us!

Western Collaborative Conservation with Aireona Raschke
In today's episode, WLA Communications Director Louis Wertz sits down with Aireona Raschke, who leads collaborative efforts across the West through her work with the Center for Collaborative Conservation and the Western Collaborative Conservation Network at Colorado State University.
Aireona gives us a preview of this year's Confluence –a conference designed to support and connect people across the West doing the important, and often challenging, work of collaborative conservation.
Whether you plan to attend or not, this is a great conversation about what it takes to bring people together and build solutions that last.
More information about Confluence 2026 can be found here.

What's Going on Down There? Satellites, Irrigation, and Science with Perry Cabot
We talk a lot about the importance of knowing the land at Western Landowners Alliance. Walking it, talking it, being in sync with it. Perry Cabot is one of the people Colorado producers can partner with to help them know more exactly what is happening in their fields, because Perry is using cutting-edge science to understand evapotranspiration rates and how farmers and ranchers can adapt to drought in a drier West. Perry is a research professor at Colorado State University Extension, and has spent years learning about the complex interplay between precipitation, irrigation, evapotranspiration, and more.
