Protecting the Western Arctic ft. Alaska Wilderness League and the Potential Repeal of the Roadless Rule ft. Outdoor Alliance - Public Lands News (July 28 - August 1)

In this episode, we cover two urgent and unfolding stories:

  1. The Trump administration’s rollback of safeguards in the Western Arctic with Andy Moderow from the Alaska Wilderness League

  2. The USDA’s plan to rescind the Roadless Rule with Jamie Ervin from Outdoor Alliance

These changes could open millions of acres of public lands to industrial development.

But there’s still time to take action.
