  • FANTASTIC PODCAST

    WLA has everything figured out. Listening to their podcasts gives me unwavering hope for the future of the west, as well as our world. The solutions that WLA highlights and proposes are extremely well thought out and scalable, with equal consideration given to every living thing involved, from soil to wildlife to the generational land managers. An absolute “must listen” podcast for all human beings.

Particularly the time spent explaining societal wildlife values and how instrumental those are to helping you understand why we as people can seem to be on such diffe... more
