The episode examines the broader erosion of public land protections, including the North Dakota Trust Lands Completion Act and a proposed bill to transfer 140,000 acres of the Kisatchie National Forest to local control in Louisiana. It covers the lawsuit filed by BHA and PLWA against Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks regarding corner crossing, the BLM’s proposal to open 79,000 acres in Arizona to oil and gas leasing, and the confirmation of Chronic Wasting Disease on the National Elk Refuge. Additionally, the show discusses the Senate confirmation of Steve Pearce as BLM Director, the revocation of American Prairie’s grazing permits for bison, and the introduction of the Public Lands Integrity Act to prevent fast-tracked federal land sales.
