"Hang Fire" by Heid Erdrich

Depth of dark air between us/ we sense all things suspended/ How tenderly we glance at Earth in her black velvet/ Little strings of farmyard lights outside tiny prairie towns/ —glitter of lit roads appear to adorn her

“Many hands make light work.”

Although we face great challenges and interact with entities much larger and better funded, we are stronger with each and every member.

Threats To Our Beloved Badlands—Help!

A plaque which sat on the desk of President John F. Kennedy read “Oh God, thy sea is so great, and my boat is so small.” That’s how we feel most days about the threats to our Badlands, the landscape BCA exists to protect. Threats that never seem to go away.
