No News for this week’s Fresh Tracks Weekly. However, Randy Newberg and Marcus Hockett take a deep dive into some controversial comments from Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and his management plan of our public lands. Is the federal government actually following sound business practices, or are they holding a fire sale on assets that belong to you, the American taxpayer?
Join Marcus and Randy as they break down the “balance sheet” of our National Forests and BLM lands. From 0% royalty rates on hard-rock mining to the massive $1.3 trillion outdoor recreation economy, we explore why treating public lands solely as a resource for extraction ignores the very people who own them. We’re tackling the myth that conservation and industry can’t coexist and calling out the “swamp rats” looking to profit off our shared backcountry.
