In response to the overlooked vulnerabilities of public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, I founded the Public Lands Project. This conservation initiative combines written and visual narratives from the field to highlight, amplify, and protect these crucial landscapes. The project serves as a multifaceted resource— part guidebook, travelogue, and educational tool —designed to inspire and equip a broader coalition of recreational users with a deeper understanding and appreciation of America's diverse public lands.
