Everything you will ever need to know to win any argument about the future of our American public lands--special and crucial episode with Walt Dabney.

Understanding the background and history of our public lands is critical to safeguarding them for the future.

Texas-born Walt Dabney started his National Park Service career in Yellowstone in 1969, worked as a ranger from the Everglades to Alaska, and was the Superintendent of the National Parks in Southeast Utah from 1991-99, completing a 30-year Parks Service career. Then he served as the Director of State Parks for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for 14 more years.

Walt is now the leading voice for America's system of  public lands. His 45-minute presentation, The History and Future of Our Public Lands, took him over seven years to develop. It is the product of a lifetime of experience, and years of assiduous research. Join us for a talk with America's foremost advocate for our public lands, and later watch the presentation here
