Why Protecting Public Lands Matters - And How We Can Help

In this episode I hit the North Country Trail with Matt Davis, the Regional Trail Coordinator for MN, ND and WI for the nonprofit, North Country Trail Association. We talk about this beautiful 5,000 mile trail, why public lands are important (in SO many ways), how they’re being taken away, sold, and at risk, and what we can do to stop this attack.Matt also shares a few summer tips to keep us safe and comfy hiking.ResourcesNorth Country Trail Association: northcountrytrail.orgSierra Club: https://www.sierraclub.org/issues/environment/public-landsTrust for Public Land: https://www.tpl.orgLeague of Conservation Voters: https://www.lcv.org5 Calls - An easy place to call your legislators to protect public lands: https://5calls.org/
