Revisiting a gem
Posted in
By Cathy Purves   I recently had one of those ah-ha moments confirming that science, recreation, and public lands management efforts work.   This summer I participated in a field tour in southwest Wyoming with a mix of Trout Unlimited staff, agency biologists and other partners, all interested in [ READ MORE... ]

The other side of dad
Posted in
By Brett Prettyman   My dad worked long hours doing construction while I was growing up. The limited time I did get to spend with him typically came while he was eating breakfast before rushing out the door before sunrise or grabbing a late dinner long after the sun set.   Watching my father work [ READ MORE... ]

The art of pooping in the woods
Posted in
By Shauna Stephenson   Their heels clicked by on a small length of sidewalk, some skin-tone color, nude, beige, maybe almond, meant to create the illusion of length – long legs, smart cocktail dresses. Urban and chic and civilized. Friends of the bride, in from some metropolitan place that might as [ READ MORE... ]

Steal our birthright?
Posted in
By Corey Fisher   I didn’t grow up around public lands. Aside from a handful of municipal parks, southern Michigan isn’t much for public lands. Want to hunt? Better have permission or the means to buy access. Want to fish? Better not walk on the streambank.   Like many Americans, I didn’t know the [ READ MORE... ]

Vamos al rio
Posted in
By Jason Amaro   As a young man growing up in the desert Southwest, the most cherished words I could hear were, “Vamos al rio,” roughly translated into, “Let’s go to the river.” At the time I didn’t know anything about public lands, but I did know that we were set for an adventure.   My dad would [ READ MORE... ]

TRANSFER IS SALE
Posted in
Anti-public land special interests like to say they only want to “transfer” America’s public lands to individual states, making the speculative claim that states would do a better job managing these lands.
