Episode Details

The Bureau of Land Management just gutted a landmark conservation rule designed to protect millions of acres—including parts of the Pacific Crest Trail—just one year into the new administration. Once hailed as a game-changer for balancing land use and environmental protection, the rule is now gone, replaced by a return to old-school management that gives agencies more leeway to prioritize extraction over preservation. Environmental groups are furious, warning this rollback threatens wildlife, tribal resources, and fragile ecosystems, especially in Oregon where the Bureau oversees 15 million acres. Despite 98% of public comments opposing the move, the decision stands—raising alarms about the future of public land stewardship in America.
