Growing Support
for National Conservation Lands
NYC Climate Week Event
Public Land Protection IS Climate Action
We partnered with Patagonia to host a widely attended public forum featuring a curated panel that highlighted the breadth and depth of support for public lands protection. Moderated by Chris Hill, speakers were Representative Melanie Stansbury (NM), Caroline Gleich (professional ski mountaineer and activist), Ryan Callaghan (President and CEO of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers), and Carleton Bowekaty (Zuni Tribe and Policy Director at Bears Ear Partnership). Together, they explored how everyone has a role to play in safeguarding our nation’s natural resources, inspiring attendees to take action in their communities.
Where Story Meets Stewardship
The Parks Stewardship Forum is a peer-reviewed journal co-published by UC Berkeley and the George Wright Society that connects science, policy, and practice by featuring professional and community leaders in the stewardship space. We partnered with the Forum to publish an issue commemorating the 25th anniversary of National Conservation Lands. Authors include current and former BLM employees, members of our Friends Network, legal and policy experts, and CLF Board and Emeritus Board Members.

Experience The Land. Protect Its Future.
The best way to care for our public lands is to truly experience them. Through our trips this year, we connected 36 people to nature, inspiring
deeper engagement and advocacy.
Join one of our trips for an immersive journey - meet the dedicated people who care for these special places and witness firsthand the beauty, wildlife, and cultural heritage of our National Conservation Lands.
Learn from local partners, see the challenges and victories up close, and leave inspired to take action to protect these irreplaceable landscapes.
Bring a group, and we’ll design a custom itinerary that turns exploration into connection, understanding, and lasting advocacy.
