New “Our Amazing Grasslands” video available from South Dakota Grassland Coalition

Our Amazing Grasslands ~ Behind the Lens

In this special behind-the-scenes film, the team behind the series reflects on the journey — from the very first episode to the final shoot of 2025. Filmmakers Joe Dickie, Mitch Kezar, Charlie Dickie, and others share what inspired the project, how it evolved, and the impact it’s had both on the landscape and the people involved.

This video isn’t just a look behind the camera — it’s a celebration of relationships, storytelling, and the passion for conservation that drives the work. Through challenges, long days in the field, and countless miles traveled, the team witnessed dedication, resilience, and hope in every operation they visited.

Whether you’ve followed the series since the beginning or are discovering it for the first time, this piece captures the heart of Our Amazing Grasslands: real people, real stories, and a shared commitment to leaving the land better than we found it.

Thank you to everyone who opened their gates, shared their story, and helped make this project possible.
