ABOUT THE RANCH
Billig Ranch is 677 acres of land protected and owned by Pines and Prairies Land Trust. PPLT is undergoing many prairie restoration projects on the ranch with the help of our event sponsor, Bamert Seed. PPLT will introduce cattle onto the ranch in 2021 and plans to turn Billig Ranch into an example of holistic ranch management. Attend a talk with Bamert Seed representative or PPLT’s Executive Director at 6:30.
CAMPING
Pines and Prairies Land Trust is excited to offer attendees a unique opportunity to camp out on the ranch following the screening. This will be primitive car camping with campers needing to bring all of their own equipment. Portable toilets will be on site and a water tap for refilling bottles. Email courtney@pplt.org for more information. Camping will be an additional $25.
COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
Everyone in attendance will be required to wear a mask while not in their car slots.
