The four part series on the roadless rule opened my eyes to the importance of roadless and wilderness lands that I had not experienced in the 50+ years I’ve been hiking in roadless and wilderness lands.
Every week, you’re going to be learning something new… well, sometimes actually you might be learning something old… from Bill, Anders, and their guests.
You never know what’s going to be around the next bend.
Regardless, you’ll be both entertained and better informed.
This is the most important conversation happening right now about public lands, and I only wish we had been having it sooner. I look forward to every episode drop and I enjoy feeling like I’m in the room with friends. The hosts have great chemistry and even greater passion for our shared public lands. Keep it up!
Timely, highly relevant digestible deep dives into the past, present, and future of America’s wild public lands.
