Listen Later

On this episode I have LA based trekker, writer, photographer, conservationist, and leading voice of public lands managed by BLM, Josh Jackson of Forgotten Lands Project, join me on the show. 


We chatted about Josh’s first meaningful memories out in nature, why he moved from the Midwest to the West Coast, what sparked his deep love for BLM land, the origin story to creating the Forgotten Lands Project and the inspiration behind “The Enduring Wild,” his top 3 BLM lands in California, tips for exploring these forgotten and remote landscapes, his recent Superbloom camping trip with USAL Project at the Carrizo plain, his thoughts on the current state of affairs of our public lands and what we can do to help protect them, how BLM lands are the ancestral homelands of the native tribes, his most special interactions with wildlife, and the one forgotten land experience that was the most unforgettable for him.
