In this issue, our feature story dives into a border community’s resistance to arriving militia members. We travel to California, where: immigrants and refugees are modeling small, abundant agriculture; a radio station provides needed outreach to this community; and farmers make the case for capturing greenhouse gases. Other stories look at courts slowing the Trump administration’s “energy dominance” agenda, the energy industry lobbying to boost uranium, and the BLM offering the fire-starting Hammonds new permits to, yes, reduce fire risk. We review a new book that contemplates nature in isolation. And a writer questions the Mormon church’s recent reversal of an anti-queer policy, saying it’s not nearly enough.
Feature
Editor's Note
Rise above provocation and choose decency.
Current
Where industrial monocrops dominate, small farms form an agricultural resistance in the Central Valley.
Multilingual broadcasts provide crucial resources to underserved refugee and immigrant communities.
The decisions could curb greenhouse gas emissions from public lands.
Washington blocked a coal terminal under the Clean Water Act. New rules could subvert that authority.
The agency hopes the Hammonds’ cows will reduce fire risk in eastern Oregon.
New egg batches have been spotted, which is unusual.
Book Reviews
A compilation of work by Alaskan photographers explores life in the North.
A new book contemplates nature, solitude, grief and grace.
Perspective
Can farmers and ranchers use plants to capture greenhouse gases?
Energy industry lobbying could lead to more mining from Bears Ears to Wyoming.
Mormon suicide has deeper roots — and demands more change — than the church’s reversal of its exclusion policy.
Heard Around the West
Mishaps and mayhem from around the region.
