In this episode of the MFF Podcast, the focus is on the controversial topic of selling public lands, a pressing issue in Wyoming and other Western states. The special guest is Jess Johnson, Government Affairs Director of the Wyoming Wildlife Federation (WWF), who will soon be heading to Washington, D.C. to represent Wyoming.
The discussion underscores the potential catastrophic impact the proposed sale of 2 to 3 million acres of public land has on outdoor recreationists, hunters, campers, and the wildlife that depends on these lands. The bill's vague and broad language, lack of community consultation, and expedited timeline have raised significant concerns among stakeholders, prompting a call to action for public opposition and political engagement.
Expect a battle as Wyoming's voice aims to be strongly heard in opposition to this risky endeavor. The podcast also highlights the importance of respectful, professional activism, urging listeners to contact their local and national representatives and to remain vigilant and engaged in the political process to protect public lands.
The episode encourages continued pressure on elected officials from all angles, emphasizing the non-partisan and broadly supported nature of the fight against public land sales.
