Project Description

This 75 minute audio tour was developed to be listened to as one drives from point to point along a 77 mile scenic byway in the heart of Kansas. From farming to land conservation, from oil wells to wildlife refuges, from hunting and fishing havens to a birding paradise, the tour knits together the “common ground” that binds this diverse community together: the love of the land. It includes a primary narrator combined with interviews of numerous, local subject matter experts.
