Born and raised in the Great Plains and I love the Great Plains more than any other place on Earth. They always say our part of the country is boring but come stay with someone from these parts and they can show you the absolute beauty. I was born and raised in Oklahoma and as much as love mountains and other landscapes, nothing could ever take the place of home and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else but in the plains. Beautiful work and photography and thank you for capturing the beauty of our landscape.

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful!!!! I grew up & lived in NW Kansas until I was 28. I now live in Michigan but, Kansas is in my soul!!! Thank you so much for photographing this amazing part of our country...more people can now appreciate the amazing beauty as do those of us born & bred there.

The plains are beautiful. I love steppes, mountains and forests, and would rather have those over the beach any day lol

A lot of these comments I see are from 10, 5, 4, or 3 years ago... I'm concerned if anyone even cares about this anymore, and newcomers just comment on his amazing work to create this just for our knowledge. Bless him and his family :)

Thanks Mike. I'm also from Lincoln. That feeling in my bones I feel a thousand miles away in Massachusetts.

Beautiful! Thank you, Michael Forsberg, for all you do.

the best nature videos and documents ever

this was really well made - great photos too

I am goint to the Great Plains on my Out West road trip sometime next summer!😀😀😱 I hope I take pictures of it!😃😃

Amen, grew up on Minnesota prairie and it is a feeling. I am so in love with fields that I ache for them. Beautifully said , shot. Cheers to others who love the wide open “nothing”

Thank you so much for this beautiful, powerful document. And bless this man for his work.

we have to protect the animals around the world

I grew up in Western ND and miss the land, the open spaces. You can't really understand it unless you are from there.

Very nice video. I'm living in Germany since I was born but every time I see the great plains or the Rocky mountains I am feeling something like home. I wish that I could see America in the early/mid 19th Hundred. When it was mostly untouched. Sry if my grammar isn't right.

Love the Great Plains I can stay out there forever

🌈Such a beautiful video and thank You!! 🦋☺️🌀

this is such a beautiful presentation amazing photography!

I think without a doubt the United States is the most beautiful country in the world. Many gorgeous regions throughout the world but nobody can match the variety and diversity that are found in our landscapes and national parks 🇺🇸

Totally captivating

amazing photography... and the burrowing owl photo is absolutely phenomenaaaal!

Thank you this is beautiful with an important message. Greetings from KSA.

amazing video..... wonderful photography...... nature is simply beautiful..........

Its rather disturbing to know that humans had to devour over 50% of the Great Plains. I have always had a dream to move there and become a Moutain Man when I turn 40. But the Old West, people treated the Great Plains nice, otherwise the Great Plains would be a wastland. We have enough land, why expand over nice areas of earth? Its rather Depressing. That video was enlightnening though, your words have touched me and your pictures are just excellent. Thank you for making this video.

America is easily the best country in the world

I was born in Utah and grew up in Arizona, so I haven't gotten to witness the natural beauty of the Great Plains region in person. However, your description of the land touched my heart. "The land is...an anchor for the sky. It's a place where you can't open your arms wide enough to take it all in." "I want my kids to go out and watch cranes fall like autumn leaves against the prairie sunset in the spring." Absolutely stunning photography and descriptions. When the colonizers genocided the people living here and plowed and paved over everything, they destroyed so much.

Thank you for sharing. I know where I want to live.

I've visited Bismarck north Dakota and on my way there I remember seeing the plains and wetlands next to live stock ranches

beautiful.

I’d love to live there

That was beautiful

beautiful

"It is our home!"

I'd love to live on the great plains but I'm not American.

Nature brotherz

@bapyou yes, cougars live in the great plains

Where on the Great Plains do you find cougars (1:48)? I stayed in eatsern Montana several years ago where a local man told me there were cougars out in the grasslands. I wasn't sure whether to believe him or not. Later, passing through Helena (Montana's state capitol), someone who worked for the state wildlife agency was unable to give me a firm answer as to whether or not cougars live out on the Great Plains. Anyway, beautiful photos. The Great Plains are underappreciated.

Hello. I am a student in Alabama.. I was wondering could we borrow this beatiful video for a project? ~Piedmont School ~

Forsberg? Guess he have Swedish ancestors. Nice film.

School makes me watch

At 4:20, what kind of birds are those? I live in a suburb of Chicago, and I've seen them in our forest preserves. Thanks.

Oklahoma?

so it could be E VEN SAFER PLACE FOR ANIMALS

LOL iTurned On The Snow Button xD

phenomen-OWL

I came from red dead redemption 2 I'll never tought the great plains is in real life

do you want a sword, thorfin?

Hi

It's really too bad how little arable land there is out west. Maybe if we could put that tech people want to use on the Sahara to work out there...

*Well this didn't help my homework much..........*

What kind of an idiot one needs to be to downvote this..sigh

Sorry to break it to you but human kind doesn't care about nature or animals but this is nature's world ,yet man kind doesn't give a damn about the life beyond these parts we haven't explored yet the beauty of life but , because we have overpopulated we are a threat to this living world that has literally went through hell ,and has survived to such a length that it even now is still pure ,but we have been tearing this life filled world so fast that even some scientist believe that if there is another iceage we WILL BE EXTINCT FOR GOOD. So as most people litter pollute kill animals and even create smoke,steam or any other gas I ask you this? Why do you intend to kill this world so quickly does life not matter?or does this world not mean anything to you? So I ask once more why? Why can't you let this world be as it was? Where there was no smoke was no gas where there was no pollution where there was no death to harmless animals? Please at least think of your beautiful planet and what is left of it when you decide to destroy it bit by bit -Brooke Cruz
