The year in public lands

Jennifer Rokala, the Executive Director of the Center for Western Priorities, joins the hosts to recap significant conservation efforts in 2023. They discuss the ban on logging in the Tongass National Forest and the Biden administration's protective measures for Bristol Bay and Minnesota's Wilderness. Community advocacy shines through with a public meeting for the proposed Bajnaav Show Ita Kukveni monument. They also tackle the urgency of finalizing public land rules for 2024 and the growing momentum for new national monument campaigns.
