Federal lands, explained.

In this Our Changing Climate environmental video essay, I explained how federal lands have become embroiled in a battle between federal and state's rights. I look at how the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Forest Service, and the National Park Service are tasked with the difficult job of managing federal lands for multiple uses. As a result, this has led to events like the Sagebrush Rebellion and the struggle over Bears Ears National Monument.

I would love to learn more about this subject. The way you break it down is so easy to digest.

This video, By far, provides the best "problem statement" about the US public lands in <8 minutes. Good job!
I for one see the greater need for preserving public land as wilderness. Such places where one can escape the industrial landscape predominating the rest of the landscape, are important for cleansing the soul and reconnecting the spirit with the natural world.

Public land is just that public land and MUST be accessible to public yet million of acres are not because they are surrounded by private land owners telling the public "no access".
They (the private land owners) say they are the stewards protecting public land... Wrong, but they get away with it.. Our constitution gives the public the RIGHT to access PUBLIC LAND!

The good thing about diamond I'd you can cut through it with a diamond disc and water because the disc is cooled more by the water than the one point or line its cutting through and as ll the debris can be recycled into more disc

we must save land that people hike on sometimes, sure the residence around are poor and not allowed to develop but then again we can go home to the city after and enjoy civilization

I hate it when the BLM land leaser puts a barbed wire fence across a dirt road... blocking my hunting.

This is not 100% accurate. US Army Corps of Engineers also manages federal lands.

this was good until you purposely used tacky pics of Trump which shows your true bias.
