Congress has put the sale of Public Lands back on the table with a possible vote as early as this afternoon. We hope Majority Leader Thune hears the call to please remove the sell-off provision from the reconciliation bill text. It's good business sense as communities rely on these lands to thrive.

Great keynote this morning @ #NABT24 focused on why representation matters from Alex Troutman, a wildlife biologist. Awesome advice: Don’t offer a seat at the table because it was built on oppression. Instead, bring the community together, ask what they want, and build a new table.

Trump administration rolls back forest protections in bid to ramp up logging President Donald Trump's administration has rolled back environmental protections around future logging projects on more than half of U.S. national forests under an emergency designation issued Friday...

The Dept. of Agriculture declared 59% of U.S. Forest Service lands to be in an 'emergency situation,' an attempt to circumvent environmental law and speed approval for massive logging projects. This is not about protecting communities, it's about prioritizing industry profits.
