I talk a lot about public lands issues, including the most recent attacks on the 'Roadless Rule,' the United States Marine Corps attempting to seize Johnson Valley, as well as the fight to protect the 'Public Lands Rule.' And, yeah, I get it, it's a lot of doom and gloom.
But I do this because I love our public lands, and I spend an inordinate amount of time on them, enjoying them for what they are: ours. Which is why I'll always fight for them. We don't always have to be "The sky is falling!", however, and we can celebrate our public lands when we get the opportunity.
One great one is coming up on September 27th, which is National Public Lands Day. And to put even more emphasis on that day, our friends at onX are going to be hosting a set of trail meet-ups around the country to toast to public lands, do some stewardship and conservation work, get some like-minded public land owners together, and maybe, just maybe, give away a few cool prizes.
