A film by Don Campbell

With Leigh & William Kuhn

At what cost, the American dream?

Thirty years ago William and Leigh Kuhn journeyed west to find a place that spoke of the wild,

where nature still flourished. They found it in the Tumalo Winter Deer Range.

Instead of harmony and integration with nature they found themselves embroiled in a battle between egregious, harassing landowners and an equally contentious, inexperienced and obstructive county bureaucracy.

That left the Kuhns no choice but to either give up or fight a decades long struggle to protect and support the existence of this wild and natural place they call home.

This is their story.
