Editor's Call
by Alan Carpenter
I had the good fortune to meet Arizona rancher Jim Crosswhite at a meeting I attended in Albuquerque earlier this year. Soon after I began visiting with Jim, it became apparent to me that he was not your average landowner. He purchased a small ranch about seven years ago in eastern Arizona. It turns out that his property harbored one threatened species and the creek was classified as an impaired water by the state because of high turbidity. Jim has worked tirelessly over the past seven years improving the creek and the rest of his land. It is a very inspiring story. I have featured Jim's work on his ranch in Arizona because I think it applies throughout the west. It shows what can happen with creativity and hard work. After you read his story, I urge you to check out his web site for all the details.I have been the editor of green line for several years now, not counting an earlier stint with Butch Clark. I now want to hand the baton to someone who will bring new energy and ideas to this important work with the Colorado Riparian Association. Please call me at 303.443.8094 if you think you might be interested. I will be happy to explain what being editor entails and the rewards you will receive for your efforts.
