Some good news. 73,000 acres in a remote stretch of the Upper Peninsula’s Huron Mountains are now permanently protected from future development and open for public recreation. www.mlive.com/environment/... #906Life #PureMichigan

LET’S GOOOOO 🏃🏻‍♂️ 😈

Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is almost fully funded by fishing/hunting license fees which have stagnated in recent years. Other states like Missouri and Arkansas have dedicated funding streams so that they don’t find themselves operating in the red like TWRA.

The road, which will connect to the Dalton Highway some 270 miles north of Fairbanks and enable ore-laden, industrial-grade mining vehicles to truck the minerals to market, would cross 11 major river systems and literally thousands of smaller rivers, fishable streams, and sensitive wetlands.

Fly fishing folks - The Army Corps is requesting input on a bank stabilization project at the Long Branch Campground on our beloved Caney Fork River.

Politics paid my bills at the beginning of my career but burnout and cynicism led me to leave the campaign world and seek a slower/more stable career. I don’t voice my opinions much any more but what this admin is doing to our public lands is sickening.

One of the stops planned for our July PNW roadtrip. I was hoping that repairs would be made but with the recent cuts by the Trump Administration it sounds like the erosion will only worsen and continue to get more expensive with no funds coming from the federal level #ProtectOurParks

“people go there to hang out, not work. That's essential not only as a stress release valve for the indignities of wage labor, but also as a shard of possibility that inspires people to imagine a better world—or, barring that, the preservation of this one.” #ProtectOurParks

"Stiles believes most Americans value and cherish the national parks system, which was the first in the world when it started in 1872 and has been crowned 'America's best idea.' 'You don't treat America's best idea with a sledgehammer,' he said."

Grand Canyon National Park turns 106 today 🎂🎉 From rim to river its protection is truly one of America’s crowning conservation achievements Photos from my 10/10/21 Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim crossing. #ProtectOurParks
