You're Invited!

Join Chama Peak Land Alliance and Western Landowners Alliance for a virtual film screening and Q&A of the new film, The Fish & the Flame.

The 14-minute short film, which has already garnered several festival designations and awards, shows how Tim Haarmann, ranch manager at Banded Peak Ranch, and Jim White, a biologist with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, collaborated to save one of the last remaining populations of nearly-extinct San Juan cutthroat trout, just as a wildfire threatens to decimate the fish.

The film highlights the critical role private lands play in protecting watersheds, and how both public agencies and private landowners can work together to protect landscapes and wildlife from the cascading effects of development and climate change, issues that are top of mind for landowners and land stewards across the West.
