| LOSING THE WEST is the story of the originaI smaIl business, farming and ranching, as toId through the eyes of a very "Ieathered" Native American cowboy. Howard Linscott IS the original Marlborough Man, a gruff chain-smoking 70 year old who’s been ranching his whoIe Iife. The film expIores the issues of Iand use, gentrification, water scarcity, and change in the West. Through Howard Linscott’s prism, we experience the unintended consequences of short term decision-making on our Iandscape and our rural and urban economies. lnterviews include Senator Michael Bennet (D- CoIorado), Dr. Patricia Limerick, Chairman of the Center for The American West, Andy Lipkis, Drought Expert and Founder of Tree PeopIe, a pre-eminent CA environmentaI non-profit, members of the CoIorado Coalition of Land Trusts, Jim Wooster, President of the American. Cattleman’s Association and the friends and famiIy of Howard Linscott. With farm and ranch Iand dwindling due to popuIation growth and economic pressure, many have made the hard choice to sell their farms. As the U.S. population expands, who wiIl raise our crops and livestock? How can we preserve the precious natural resources we need to sustain life? LOSING THE WEST offers a baIanced approach to conservation that can result in the protection of our naturaI resources, cultural heritage and way of life for generations to come.
