Hidden Treasure

Reveals one of the West's most threatened ecosystems: native grassland. Despite their hardiness and adaptability, less the 2% of Western native grass ecosystems remain intact. Human practices—principally agriculture and development—have nearly wiped out our native grasses. And yet, having co-evolved with grasses, numerous native invertebrate species are dependent upon native grasses for their survival. In Hidden Treasure host Jerry Kay travels through a variety of watersheds to showcase the beauty and diversity of native grass and grassland habitats being re-established by ranchers, resource managers, and even highway department landscapers.
