Thomas Prior for BLOOMBERG BUSINESSWEEK
Our public lands – millions of acres of forests, mountains, rivers, and plains – are a part of who we are. They exist for the good of all, not the profit of a few. But powerful special interests inside the government and beyond are waging an aggressive campaign to undermine and even sell off public lands all across the west for short-term private gain.

We love to slide on snow, and so did Jake Burton Carpenter. He was a true visionary and a leader not just for snowboarding but for anyone who loved being outside and who found joy in winter. May he rest in peace.

Jake Burton Carpenter brought the snowboard to the masses and helped turn the sport into a billion-dollar business.This is a good question and one worth talking about a whole lot more: Would you support a backpack tax to help fund the backlog of maintenance facing public lands across the country?

Would You Support a “Backpack Tax” to Fund Public Lands? by Justin Housman | Nov 18, 2019 | The AJ Poll | 29 comments The AJ Poll Would You Support a “Backpack Tax” to Fund Public Lands? By Justin Housman | November 18, 2019 [wpfp-link] Last week we covered a proposal to tax outdoor gear (an...Tomorrow, the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources is meeting. On the agenda are two bills that get to the heart of funding public lands.
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) is arguably the most effective conservation program in the United States. Earlier this year, after a huge advocacy push, Congress permanently authorized the LWCF with a notable bipartisan vote. Now we need them to fully fund it.
Another bill is the Restore Our Parks Act, and that one will give National Parks the money to make some much-needed improvements and repairs on things that really matter, like toilets at the trailhead or employee housing. We're all for that, but we'd also like to see Congress help out other federal agencies like the Forest Service and the BLM, which each have their own long lists of maintenance to-dos.
Here's something that you can do: If your representative is on the committee for Energy and Natural Resources, tell them why these bills matter to you.
