Utah Land Grab: The Supreme Court ruled against Utah’s lawsuit attempting to reclaim 18.5 million acres of federally managed BLM land, preserving access for public use. However, 13 other states supported Utah’s position, raising concerns about future challenges to public land ownership.
Executive Orders: Protections on 28 million acres of Alaska’s public land were revoked under Trump’s executive order, paving the way for energy development in areas like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Tongass National Forest.
Colorado Wolves: Colorado’s wolf reintroduction program has cost taxpayers over $4.8 million so far, with additional funding budgeted for 2025. Ranchers and neighboring states like Wyoming and Idaho remain critical of the plan’s execution.
Corner Crossing Case: A Wyoming court affirmed the legality of corner crossing, unlocking access to 8.3 million acres of landlocked public land for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts.

These conservation stories highlight the ongoing debates over public land use, wildlife management, and balancing development with environmental stewardship. Tyler emphasizes the need for engagement and advocacy to ensure the future of public lands and outdoor recreation.
