In this episode, I interview the Pattiz brothers—founders of More Than Just Parks—to cover a range of pressing issues related to public lands. Will and Jim discuss their personal journey from creating films about national parks and public lands to taking an active role in advocating for the protection of public lands from acute threats under the current political climate. Our conversation is wide-ranging and covers a variety of issues across the federal government from corporate wishlists, to leaked strategic plans, budget reconciliation, attacks on our nation monuments, foregoing judicial review of government decisions, dismantling environmental laws, and transferring away our public lands.
