Henry and Baloo Foundation

Henry and Baloo Foundation The Henry and Baloo Foundation is dedicated to permanently protecting 1,000 acres of wilderness land in the great American West. Why HBF? Why now?

We directly purchase, maintain, and monitor undeveloped land - restoring and reforesting as necessary. HBF prioritizes quality wildlife habitat, migration corridors, and proximity to existing protected areas. The fragmentation of habitat is a major concern in the American West and small scale private conservation efforts must meet the challenge of filling in the gaps, both literally and figurative

ly. The United States is, for the first time in its history, removing protections from our lands rather than adding to them. In the past few years more than 35 million acres of public lands have lost protected status or had those protections reduced. That’s 5% of our public land in four years. And it wasn’t just Trump. Colorado has seen 500,000 acres (about one percent of the state) lose protections since 2001. We are supposed to conserve 30% of the country by 2030 but we are headed in the wrong direction. These places are not as protected, not as permanent as they seem.

Smells like a really BIG Baloo 😂❤️ Pan out checking trail cameras on the HBF preserve. Amazing to think we share our world with such beautiful creatures.

It’s our birthday today and we have big news! HBF has purchased and permanently preserved a vital piece of watershed habitat right here in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

We can’t wait to share more with you about the very first Henry and Baloo Foundation preserve and to show you some of the beautiful wild animals that we’ve captured on film so far, but for now please just spend a few peaceful moments with a mama bear and her cubs on our preserve.

“There are limits to saying, in language, what the tree did.”

A large cottonwood tree grows in the center of this hayfield. Lives here I mean, for longer than any of us have been around.

I love this tree. Pan and I come here to read and rest and replenish our hearts in the dappled sunlight.

It has utility as well of course, the tree I mean. It drinks the wet down, allowing grass to beat out the rushes, and it’s shade creates this clover patch. It serves as a sentinel post for hawks during the day and owls at night. Who in turn provide their services to the meadow and drop their offerings at its base. Like all trees it shelters so many other creatures in myriad ways.

It is also very beautiful. If you doubt the utility of that consider that perhaps I would not be here tending this field if not for the beauty of it’s shaded home.

How has a tree brought us all together? So many of earths creations; man and vole, deer and hawk, bird and bee. All toiling in its name, vying for its favor, savoring its bounty.

There are limits to saying, in language, what the tree did.

A poem for Henry, who was a poem of a dog;

All morning
the dream lingers
I am like think grass
in a meadow, still
soaked with dew at noon

The longer I am here, the more I hear the music of this valley.
