In Field Guide to a Hybrid Landscape Dana Fritz's photographs reveal forces that shape what was once the world's largest hand-planted forest, located in the Sandhills of Nebraska. Evolving ideas about climate change both created this grassland forest and tree nursery to reclaim "The Great American Desert" and transformed them into 21st century efforts in conservation, grassland restoration, and reforestation in native forests. Patterns of rows and waves make visible the human and non-human forces of wind, water, planting, thinning, burning, decomposition, and sowing at work in this hybrid landscape.
