Congress has put the sale of Public Lands back on the table with a possible vote as early as this afternoon. We hope Majority Leader Thune hears the call to please remove the sell-off provision from the reconciliation bill text. It's good business sense as communities rely on these lands to thrive.

This is what we will be reading on this Earth Day and every day after. #earthday #earthdayeveryday #peopletheplanetneedsnow #bewellbeoutdoors
Alt Text: Cover of the book being held up in front of trees and grass is People the Planet Needs Now by Dudley Edmondson. The title is written in bold white letters against a gradient background of earthy tones, transitioning from deep green at the top to golden brown at the bottom. The subtitle reads, Voices for Justice, Science, and a Future of Promise. A collage of environmental imagery is featured, including smokestacks, a pipeline, rusted barrels, and a sewage pipe, symbolizing pollution and environmental challenges. The author's name appears at the bottom in smaller white text.

Great keynote this morning @ #NABT24 focused on why representation matters from Alex Troutman, a wildlife biologist. Awesome advice: Don’t offer a seat at the table because it was built on oppression. Instead, bring the community together, ask what they want, and build a new table.

The Dept. of Agriculture declared 59% of U.S. Forest Service lands to be in an 'emergency situation,' an attempt to circumvent environmental law and speed approval for massive logging projects. This is not about protecting communities, it's about prioritizing industry profits.
