A new documentary film, "Preserved," delves into the history and conservation work at Ted Turner's Vermejo Reserve, located west of Raton, New Mexico.
The Vermejo Reserve spans nearly 560,000 acres of wilderness, ranchland, and former coal mines in Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado.
- Located west of Raton, New Mexico, and extending into Colorado
- Covers a range of ecosystems, from short grass prairie to alpine
- Elevations range from 6,000 to 13,000 feet
"What's really unique is how many ecosystems it crosses," said Lance Bernal, the reserve's natural resources manager.
Ted Turner purchased the Vermejo Reserve in 1996, aiming to restore and conserve its ecosystems.
