This document discusses the importance of healthy waters and land, highlighting quotes about measuring how we live on the land by the health of our waters. It also notes that graziers hold the keys to restoring health to about half the land area in the US that is used for grazing. The document provides information on soil food webs and images showing grasses kept at different heights. It discusses using food and stewardship to build soil and fight climate change through a carbon ranch approach. Feedback loops between beaver dams and streams are also mentioned, along with available funding for beaver-related stream restoration projects.
