The Power and Purpose of Our Public Lands

There’s something timeless and transformative about America’s public lands. From rugged high desert plateaus to windswept ocean cliffs, these wild, open spaces offer more than just breathtaking views, they tell the story of who we are. In this episode, we explore the deep connection between people and place, diving into the history, meaning, and future of the public lands that belong to us all.

Public lands are not just outdoor destinations; they are living reflections of our shared values. They hold the footsteps of Indigenous peoples, the ambitions of early explorers, and the everyday stories of hikers, campers, anglers, and families who return to them time and time again. These lands are part of our national identity and a powerful expression of democracy, open to all and protected for future generations.

As we recognize National Public Lands Day, we’re reminded that appreciation is only the beginning. True stewardship means showing up, speaking out, and taking responsibility for preserving these irreplaceable spaces. Every trail walked, grove visited, and river crossed calls us to protect what has been entrusted to us.

Join us as we reflect on the magic of public lands, why they matter now more than ever, and how you can take part in ensuring their stories continue long into the future.
