Congress is After Resource Management Plans in Minnesota and Utah, Sage Grouse Protections Changing - Public Lands News (January 2026)

Congress is After Resource Management Plans in Minnesota and Utah, Sage Grouse Protections Changing - Public Lands News (January 2026)

A lot has been happening this year already, and while many Americans are focused on ICE terrorizing US citizens in places like Minneapolis, attacks on public lands have not slowed down, they’re just getting less attention.

With the limited time we have on the show, we have three interviews for you today.

The first is discussing management changes with greater sage-grouse followed by updates on a proposed bill to open a toxic copper sulfide mine in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Northern Minnesota and finally, looking at the continued use of the Congressional Review Act to attempt to roll back protections for Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument in Utah.

Featured Guests:

- Sarah Stellberg, Advocates for the West

- Ingrid Lyons, Save the Boundary Waters

- Steve Bloch, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance

We have a lot to cover in today’s episode, and we can’t cover it all here on the podcast. So, as a reminder, we release an email newsletter with more details and public lands and sustainability stories every Friday. Subscribe for weekly updates at theoutdoorminimalist.com
