The Nature of Belonging

What does it mean to feel truly at home in the Inland Northwest? For many, it’s the quiet comfort of familiar trails, the peace found beside a river, or the open space beneath a Ponderosa pine that gives you room to breathe. That feeling, a deep-rooted sense of belonging, is at the heart of The Nature of Belonging, a new short film created in partnership with Rogue Heart Media. The video weaves together personal stories, music, art, and community connections to explore how the landscapes around us shape who we are and why we feel called to protect and care for them. Enjoy.
