Under the guise of “modernization” and “streamlining,” the White House is moving swiftly to put big industry in charge of environmental decisionmaking—and to cut the public and science out of the process. We need to put pressure on Congress now to make sure they don’t let this happen.
Stand up for Public Lands
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.

Winter Wildlands Executive Director Todd Walton often says our work is year-round. Yes, we are a nonprofit with winter in our name. Our mission statement is squarely focused on the preservation and protection of “winter wildlands.” But the point is, winter’s impact extends well beyond the cold...After putting in a lot of work to convince WYDOT to allow skier parking on top of Teton Pass, Teton Backcountry Alliance celebrates: “My immediate reaction is joy and appreciation,” said Gary Kofinas, chairman of the TBCA’s steering committee. “I think it also speaks to a need and an opportunity to find a long-term solution and creating a formal Forest Service trailhead.”

Skiers are stoked about the new line WYDOT chose for Teton Pass parking."It’s going to be busy in the backcountry this season, especially with so much uncertainty around how resorts will handle the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
