- Join us as we explore the beautiful Sandhills of Nebraska! 20,000 square miles of grass covered sand dunes right in the middle of the Great Plains.
Special thanks to Doug Hallum with the UNL Conservation and Survey Division and Dean Jacobs from the Valentine Chamber of Commerse for providing us with many great suggestions for filming locations, we had a blast!
Thanks to Ted Huscher for putting us in contact with these these folks

What a great video. So rare these days. Informative and entertaining.
Very nice educational video about our incredible home!
I've ridden motorcycle through the Sand Hills numerous times. Quite beautiful in its own way.
nice bit of information easy to understand the narrator did a fine job.
Iam from upstate New York and love traveling to the sand hills, I stay in wood lake it’s so unique
Great narrator. Loved watching her hands and she told a great story. "Honestly, it's not for everyone" is pretty funny!
Great production, delightful narrator. I hadn't know about the Nebraska sandhills. Thank goodness Nebraska isn't for everyone!
I car camped in the middle of the Nebraska Sand Dunes a couple of summers ago. Beautiful place!
is Nebraska has desert ?!!
@fishmarkholmes1834 It's more of a sandy hilly grassland with shallow lakes.
@@birddt3 Thank you 🙏🏻
Good video, good information.
I’m from Saint Louis, Mo and I wanna camp there
❤ Nice.
Where did it blow in from? Wind blows it till is stips and accumulates. But what is this sands origin?
The sand blew in from deposits that accumulated in the plains to the east of the Rocky Mnts (the Ogallala rock formation for example). The deposits themselves originated in the mountains.
wrong the sediments were from the glaciers.

"medieval climate anomaly"? Is that the same thing as the "Medieval Warm Period?"
I've heard it called MWP. They probs changed to the CC narrative.
It is pretty much the same thing from my understanding. I believe part of why it is now called “climate anomaly” over “warm period” is because warming wasn’t happening on a global scale, it was localized in certain regions like North America
