The Overland Expo Foundation is proud to announce the awarding of a $5,000 grant to Grace Schuessler of the graceful renegade. Over the next few months Grace will create a video series, Where the Wild Things Are, focusing on the fight to keep public lands open and protected.
Each episode of Where the Wild Things Are will feature a different region of Oregon highlighting not only the natural beauty of the area, but also the historical significance, plants, animal life, and major geological or climatological events.

The Impact
Oregon is one of the last frontiers of adventure in the wild west backcountry of the United States. With 15.7 million acres of public land from the sky-high forests and infinite, hidden waterfalls of the Cascade Mountains to the petrified juniper trees and dried sage brush of the barren, untamed Great Basin.
As responsible land users we must fight to maintain access to this land. For Grace, this means creating captivating, story filled videos that shows just how important it is to preserve, protect, and enjoy the freedom public land provides us.
