Restoring the Pitchfork Ranch
2024
Overview
The Pitchfork Ranch is more than another dusty homestead tucked
away in a corner of the Southwest. It is a place with a story to
tell about the most pressing crisis to confront humankind. It is a
place where one couple is working every day to right decades of
wrongs. It is a place of inspiration and promise. It is an
invitation to join the struggle for a better planet. Restoring
the Pitchfork Ranch tells the story of a decades-long habitat
restoration project in southwestern New Mexico. A. Thomas Cole
explains what inspired him and his wife, Lucinda, to turn their
retirement into years dedicated to hard work and renewal. The book
shares the past and present history of a very special ranch south
of Silver City, which is home to a rare type of regional wetland, a
fragile desert grassland ecosystem, archaeological sites, and a
critical wildlife corridor in a drought-stricken landscape. Today
the 11,300 acres that make up the Pitchfork Ranch provide an
important setting for carbon sequestration, wildlife habitats, and
space for the reintroduction of endangered or threatened species.
Restoring the Pitchfork Ranch weaves together stories of
mine strikers, cattle ranching, and the climate crisis into an
important and inspiring call to action. For anyone who has wondered
how they can help, the Pitchfork Ranch provides an inspiring way
forward.
