The Real Cost of Public Land Transfer
<h3 data-section-id="12vwfgf" data-start="950" data-end="1018"> <span role="text">Inside a new economic assessment of federal public lands</span></h3> <p>For a lot of us, public lands are deeply personal. They're where we learned to hunt, where we camp with our families, where we go to breathe a little easier and remember what matters. But increasingly, the future of those lands is being debated in terms of economics, efficiency and ownership — and those conversations are getting louder across the West.</p> <p>On this episode of the Backcountry Hunters & Anglers podcast, we sit down with <strong>BHA's Regional Stewardship and Habitat Connectivity Manager, Dre Arman,</strong> to unpack a new economic assessment put out by BHA's Idaho chapter and partners examining what a large-scale transfer of federal public lands to the state could actually cost.</p> <p>We break down the numbers behind land transfer proposals, the jobs and communities tied to public lands, and <strong>why these conversations matter not just for Idaho, but for every public land owner in America.</strong> It's a thoughtful discussion about stewardship, economics and the long-term future of the places we all care about.</p> <p><a href= "https://www.backcountryhunters.org/news/details/2026-economic-assessment-on-proposals-to-transfer-ownership-of-federal-lands-to-the-state-of-idaho"> READ the <span style="font-size: 12pt;">2026 Economic Assessment on Proposals to Transfer Ownership of Federal Lands to the State of Idaho</span></a></p> <p> </p> <p>Podcast reminder: BHA is still planning next steps for our podcast. Thanks for listening to this new and important conversation, and we'll be sure to update everyone as soon more information is available on what's to come. Thanks for bearing with us.</p>
