Public Lands Move To The Front Of The Pack

Today Colin is joined Adam Cramer the CEO of the Outdoor Alliance to talk about what is happening with our public lands. And there is a lot happening.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen or heard the following:

• A leaked document from the Department of the Interior.
• Last week the administration released their budget guidelines for 2026 which included upheavals for the Park Service including things like transferring National Parks sites over to state control as well as a number of cuts to things like NPS Historic Preservation Fund.
• The Forest Service and the BLM have been directed to come up with parcels ready for "disposal" that are near big population centers.
• Agencies are currently sorting out their “RIFs” which means Reduction In Force, where they are losing about 30% of their staff. This on top of the cuts that already happened a couple of months ago.

And just two days ago, literally in the middle of the night, an amendment was voted on to sell off somewhere between 11,000 and 500,000 acres of public lands in Utah and Nevada.

So what is an outdoor enthusiast to do? We get into it on today's episode.
