How do you get everyone from cattle ranchers to cyclists, snowmobilers, hunters, wildlife biologists, indigenous tribes, and politicians from both sides of the aisle to agree on how to best manage, protect, and utilize our public lands? It ain’t easy.

But the GORP Act took on this challenge, and its collaborative approach could serve as a blueprint for the future. So, we sat down with Jon Hare, Advocacy Director for High Country Conservation Advocates, to get the full story. We discuss why they’re trying to use federal legislation to implement local land management policies; the challenges (and rewards) of working closely with so many different public land users with different priorities; and much more.
