The Latest From Big Bend, With Billy Bartko - Happy Hour 298

Big Bend is an iconic National Park - Texas’ largest state park, an International Dark Sky Reserve, rich in biodiversity, including a wild and scenic river, plus a cultural borderland thousands of years old. Each of these unique realities is at stake, for a fight Texas doesn’t want - and for a wall that this region doesn’t need. Billy Bartko joined us with an update on this BIG story. Bartko is the owner of Far Flung Outdoor Center in Terlingua, and a vocal member of the No Big Bend Wall coalition, recording fresh out of a hearing to grant a temporary restraining order on construction in Big Bend. Learn more about the No Big Bend Wall coalition at https://nobigbendwall.org/.Learn more about the Far Flung Outdoor Center at https://bigbendfarflung.com/.Learn more about People Of La Junta Preservation at https://www.peopleoflajunta.org/.Thanks for listening!
