I had a wonderful time this week celebrating the recent introduction of the GORP Act with my amazing colleagues from across Colorado! It’s always so inspiring to get to spend some time on our shared public lands with amazing people dedicated to their protection!

Out on a walk at dusk with Lindsey the other night in Wheat Ridge and heard these two hooting at each other!

It’s been a while since we’ve had a nice hike in Ouray. Lebowski dogs first trip on the perimeter trail!

Eroding protections for public lands Trump policies reshape the role of federally owned land, against the tide of U.S. public opinion

Huge shout out to Ally J Levine, Soumya Karwa and Travis Hartman for their excellent work on this Reuters article. Our national public lands provide so many benefits, which is why people love them and want them to be protected, not sold off to the highest bidder. www.reuters.com/graphics/USA...

The Forest Service Claims It’s Fully Staffed for a Worsening Fire Season. Data Shows Thousands of Unfilled Jobs. DOGE cuts and voluntary resignations have severely hampered the agency as the nation enters the peak of fire season, with more than 1 million acres burning across 10 Western states.

The Forest Service claims it’s fully staffed for fire season, saying it has reached 99% of its hiring goal. But internal data, which has not been previously reported, shows more than 4,500 Forest Service firefighting jobs — as many as 27% — remained vacant as of July 17. via @abestreep.bsky.social

Love the high country! Nice flowers and birds along the Crags Crest trail today. Not pictured: a few bald eagles, ruby-crowned kinglet, and a Western Wood-Pewee.

Hurd’s GORP Act sponsorship elevates bipartisan support for protecting public lands Coloradans’ views on protecting public lands transcend ideology. Whether you live in Grand Junction, Durango or Denver, the national public lands throughout our state define what makes Colorado specia...

Thank you to Rep. Jeff Hurd for his sponsorship of the Gunnison Outdoor Resources Protection Act! I wrote a piece on why this is so important for the Durango Herald. www.durangoherald.com/articles/hur...

Lower Gunnison River from Escalante boat ramp to Bridgeport trailhead. Beautiful day! Saw a beaver, bald eagles, great blue heron and a number of other birds.

Always great to visit Washington, DC and advocate for the protection of our public lands. I appreciated getting to say hello to Senator Bennet, Rep. Neguse and Rep. Hurd while visiting with staffers from much of the Colorado Congressional delegation this week.

Colorado lawmakers oppose efforts to 'seize control' of public lands A group of state legislators is sending a joint resolution to Colorado's congressional delegation, urging members to ensure that public lands remain under the stewardship of the federal government.

Today the Colorado Senate *unanimously* passed a bipartisan resolution affirming Colorado’s love and appreciation for our public lands, and opposing misguided attempts to sell off our shared lands to private interests. ❤️ www.coloradopolitics.com/energy-and-e... #KeepItPublic #ProtectPublicLands

Trump Killed a Major Report on Nature. They’re Trying to Publish It Anyway. (Gift Article) The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of America’s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study “too important to die.”

As I shared last week, the US's first National Nature Assessment has been shut down: but the authors, led by @phillevin.bsky.social, are determined to continue. Read more: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/c...

The first ever US national nature assessment has been terminated and its USGCRP and DOI webpages have been removed.

A PDF of the zeroth order draft is still available here: review.globalchange.gov/system/files...

Public lands: A test for Hurd Jeff Hurd needs to take a clear stance on the potential sell-off of public lands.

I couldn't agree more with the opening sentence of this editorial: "Jeff Hurd needs to take a clear stance on the potential sell-off of public lands." I'm very hopeful that Rep. Hurd will be on the right side of this issue, but he should come right out and say it! www.gjsentinel.com/opinion/edit...
