Mike Lee's Roadless Rule Amendment, NPS Funding Diverted, and ORV Access Expands - Public Lands News (June 8 - 15)
About this episode
This episode covers recent developments in public lands news, including efforts to repeal the Roadless Rule and changes to National Park Service funding.
In this week's public lands news briefing, we covered four stories: - Mike Lee pushes the latest effort to repeal the Roadless Rule, a landmark conservation policy protecting 58 million acres of national forest land. - Department of Homeland Security waived dozens of environmental laws to accelerate construction through the Big Bend Region for an updated border wall. - Ed Stierli from the National Parks Conservation Association joins us to discuss growing concerns over National Park Service funding priorities and controversial projects moving forward on the National Mall. - RideApart Editor-in-Chief Jonathon Klein helps unpack President Trump's decision to rescind decades-old off-road vehicle directives and what the change could mean for conflicts over public land and recreation access. REMINDER: Starting June 1st, we will no longer release episodes on Fridays. Our next public lands news briefing will be released on June 22nd.
