The art: Karen Halverson, Cosumnes River Preserve, 2000. The Cosumnes River Preserve, a tiny little silver of protected land that sits between Sacramento and Stockton, Calif., protects the only remaining unregulated river that flows west out of the Sierra Nevada.

The news: “The Trees Are All Right,” a defense of public lands for the New York Times’ Opinionator section by Timothy Egan, one of my favorite writers on the American West. 

The source: Collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
