BONUS Episode Alert! This week we’re doing a pod swap and sharing an episode from our friends at the On Land podcast.

The conversation features Ken Mirr, founder of Mirr Ranch Group, discussing how rapid development and sprawl are reshaping the American West. While 35-acre subdivisions and ranchettes may seem like a dream to some, they can also fragment wildlife habitat, working lands, and rural communities. This episode dives into what’s driving that growth, the impacts on landowners and local economies, and potential solutions to balance property rights, conservation, and community needs.

On Land is produced by the Western Landowners Alliance, an organization dedicated to keeping working lands whole and healthy for the benefit of people and wildlife.

From their early days in the hunting business to nearly 20 years of partnership, Jeff and Pat share how their complementary skillsets, mutual trust, and ability to divide and conquer have led to lasting success.
