Urgent Action Needed to Protect the Boundary Waters with Lukas Leaf and Matthew Schultz
Urgent Action needed! In this episode Aaron sits down with Lukas Leaf and Matthew Schultz from Sportsmen for the Boundary Waters. The House of Representatives recently voted to strip a 20-year moratorium on mining in the Boundary Waters region and in the headwaters of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness through the unprecedented use of the Congressional Review Act (CRA). A vote in the U.S. Senate is expected to be held any day. Aaron, Lukas, and Matthew walk you through the conservation history of the region and its values, why mining here is a terrible idea, how the 20 year mining moratorium came to be, what the CRA is and why this particular use of the CRA is like nothing in history, and what you can do today to help keep protections in place. This episode is a must listen if you are an American conservationist.

The Legacy of America’s Public Lands - with Hal Herring
Aaron and Tanner sit down with renowned, award-winning journalist, writer, and communicator Hal Herring — one of the leading voices on the history and future of America’s public lands. From the hills of Alabama to the Montana mountains, Hal has explored nearly every facet of conservation, restoration, and land management. He’s thought about it, written about it, and lived it. In this episode, he shares his deep understanding and fiery passion for wild places and public lands. Join this fascinating and wide-ranging conversation as we trace the origins of America’s public lands—how we got them, the defining (and sometimes disastrous) decisions along the way, and what’s at stake today. Hal helps us imagine a hopeful path forward, one where healthy, thriving landscapes remain a shared inheritance for future generations. Hal is a one-of-a-kind storyteller and advocate for wild spaces. Tune in for an insightful, funny, and thought-provoking discussion that will leave you inspired to reconnect with—and reinvest in—our public lands. Explore Hal’s work:https://www.halherring.com/ The Narrow Corridor – Daron Acemoglu & James A. Robinson From the Nobel Prize–winning authors of Why Nations Fail, this book explores how liberty survives only when governments and citizens maintain a delicate balance of power.

Our Common Ground: A History of America’s Public Lands – John D. Leshy A sweeping account of how the U.S. came to hold nearly one-third of its land for the public good.

Leshy A deep dive into the 1872 Mining Law—its history, flaws, and modern-day implications for land use, environmental protection, and mineral policy.

Lewis A look at the transformative 1911 law that created national forests in the East and restored millions of acres.

Skillen A comprehensive history of the BLM and its evolving mission to balance conservation, industry, and public access across 258 million acres of land.
