On episode 99 of the Green Root Podcast—the official podcast of Eco-Integrity Alliance—we talk about a positive alternative vision for public lands that would establish 100 new National Parks in the U.S.—at least one in every state—with Michael Kellett, executive director of RESTORE: The North Woods.

Host Josh Schlossberg talks with Michael about:

-How the U.S. Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture treats National Forests as industrial croplands

-How the anti-science exploitation of wildfire to log western forests is now being pushed in the eastern U.S.

-The October conference “Forest Fires in Massachusetts: Myths and Realities”

-RESTORE: The North Woods’ upcoming campaign to designate 100 new National Parks, at least one in every state

The mission of Eco-Integrity Alliance (eco-integrityalliance.org) is to unite U.S. grassroots ecosystem advocates through common campaigns of mutual support.
