We discuss the quiet assault on our Public Lands. We talk Forest fires, The mass firing and rehiring of thousands of Public Lands Employees, hypothesize what a privatized National Parks / Forest Service would look like, what can be done by the average person.  We talk about a protest he organized in DC to rally folks around Public lands. We dip into the political realm, however,  I think right now that can’t be helped.  

In Part II:
