It is billed as “the world's longest and toughest snowmachine race”. Next year, the Iron Dog Race plans to add three checkpoints to its over 2,000-mile course. As KOTZ's Desiree Hagen reports, a new race route, announced earlier this month, has been several years in the making and crosses through two national wildlife refuges. The new route adds the communities of Huslia, Shungnak, and Ambler. Rick Paquette is the executive director of the Iron Dog. He says it will not add miles, but would traverse through new terrain. He says the race has been working on permitting for the route for a while. “This isn’t something like overnight that happened, you know what I mean. This was over seven years in the making, this is a really big deal, and we’re super excited to do this.” Why did it take so long? The proposed race route passes through federally protected land, more than 100 miles of it (79 miles on Koukuk, 34 miles on Selawik) through the Koyukuk and Selawik National Wildlife Refuges. Both refuges rejected the initial request, citing similar reasons: the race would be a public safety problem, require more budget and staff than available, and not align with the refuges' purpose or mission. A letter from Selawik Wildlife Refuge said that a portion of the proposed route would also violate the Wilderness Act and the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (ANILCA) through 1.3 miles of trail. The managers of the refuges were unavailable for comment. Iron Dog also submitted a special use permit through Kobuk Valley National Park, but changed their race route to a section of the Kobuk River that does not fall under park service authority, according to a representative from the Western Arctic Parklands. Race organizers appealed the rejections in June 2025 and reached out to the office of U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK). A press release from the senator said he and his team played a “key role” in advancing the new route and drafted an appeal that “highlighted inconsistencies” preventing the route's expansion. “Obviously anytime you have a bunch of different organizations that you’re trying to collaborate with and get one final answer on, it’s extremely difficult. I think, new administrations, and definitely, Sen. Sullivan’s office really helped push this over and help us get to the goal line on this.” Paquette says Sullivan's office helped with letters of support, and with multiple organizations, including the Bureau of Land Management. And it paid off. In December, Sara Boario, Regional Director of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, overturned the previous denials, allowing for the new race routes. Boario's office did not respond to questions from KOTZ news. Paquette says there are challenges with a race this large, which passes through 23 mostly remote checkpoints. “It’s a beast to put on this race logistically, and there’s always struggles with fuel and getting equipment out, and getting, you know, resources out there.” Both Ambler and Shungnak have experienced prolonged fuel shortages in the last several years, often in winter when storms can ground fuel planes. Still, Paquette says Iron Dog is prepared for those challenges. “We do our best to make sure we get all the resources for the communities that we need to put a strong race.” Paquette says Iron Dog has several programs that the new race communities will benefit from, including free helmets and free life jackets for local youth. Last year, Iron Dog established the Iron Pup program, which fosters young racers. Iron Dog also founded the Make it Run program that partners with schools and engineers to encourage technical and mechanical training. Paquette says there is also economic benefits to the new communities. “There’s gonna be publicity, there’s gonna be people going through these areas, you know. We send resources up there, spending money, and, you know, giving a chance for these folks to see this incredible race.” The Iron Dog race typically begins in early February. A date has not been set for next year’s race. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

Across the United States, from Alaska to Puerto Rico, there are about 112 million acres of officially designated wilderness. That amounts to about 5 percent of the country's land mass. It might appear to be even smaller when you consider that more than half of those 112 million acres protected as wilderness are in Alaska. To say that wilderness is at risk from the human imprint isn't hyperbole. While there are millions of acres of proposed, recommended, and potential wilderness across the country, Congress acts extremely slowly on these matters. Indeed, it was back in 1989 when America's Red Rock Wilderness Act was first proposed in Congress to protect 8 million acres in Utah as official wilderness. The clock continues to tick on that proposal. Without official designation as wilderness, lands can be impacted by motorized and mechanized activities, from logging and mining and energy development to off-road-vehicle recreation. But the threats to both unofficial and official wilderness might be growing, as the Trump administration has called for a review of wilderness management on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and even the National Park Service. To explore what's at stake with wilderness in America under these proposals, we have Kevin Proescholdt, the conservation director for Wilderness Watch, a nonprofit advocacy organization, and Bob Krumenaker, chairman of Keep Big Bend Wild, a nonprofit advocating for official wilderness designation in Big Bend National Park and a long-time National Park Service manager joining us today.

Mike Lee's recent amendments to rescind the Roadless Rule shows he doesn't care about what his constituents want. The Public Lands Integrity Act seeks to address these tactics by amending the Congressional Budget Act's Byrd Rule, which would explicitly classify any provision involving the sale, transfer, or disposal of federal public lands as extraneous to the budget reconciliation process. By removing these land-related measures from the simplified budget reconciliation path, the bill aims to prevent backroom deals and ensure that any potential disposal of public land receives full public scrutiny and debate. The Bureau of Land Management has proposed new grazing rules that increase allowed grazing by 31% and maintain lower fees, raising concerns about the impact on wildlife and the reduction of public input on land management. The Farm Service Agency and the Natural Resources Conservation Service have released a new framework for Migratory Big Game Conservation that focuses on interagency collaboration and incentives for private landowners to manage land for both livestock and wildlife.

For the first time in more than 100 years, the state of Utah will now have some say in what happens in the San Rafael Swell Recreation Area. Local officials say these agreements are good for the area and will help maintain stability when things like federal government shutdowns occur. Critics, however, worry these changes will allow lots of additional motorized, off-road traffic in the recreation area.

The administration argues these older orders were overly vague and difficult for agencies to implement. Critics contend that increasing road access displaces wildlife, pushes animals onto private land, and alters hunter success rates, which can ultimately lead to fewer available tags and reduced recreational opportunities. Other news stories include; The National Park Service and National Wildlife Refuge System released a list of locations where hunting and fishing opportunities will be opened or expanded. While new access is available, the specific regulations and management changes for many of these sites remain unclear. American Prairie canceled their public bison hunt after the Bureau of Land Management revoked their grazing permit. This decision followed pressure from Montana state officials and industry organizations, despite the non-profit's work on wildlife management and public land access. A mule deer was harvested in Alaska for the first time, prompting concerns from wildlife managers regarding disease transmission to native species. Managers have opened year-round hunting with no bag limit to mitigate the risk of parasites and diseases like Chronic Wasting Disease. A recent oil and gas lease sale in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge received minimal interest, with very few tracts receiving bids. The low turnout highlights the high costs, logistical challenges, and lack of industry incentive to develop in the region. The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public input on the management of wild horses and burros on public lands. There is also a push for Arizona residents to contact officials regarding the removal of unauthorized horses on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. Learn more about your ad choices.

Oregon forests recently got a big win in court.Earlier this month, a US District Court Judge ruled that the Bureau of Land Management, or BLM, had broken the law during the planning of its so-called “Blue and Gold” timber sale, and threw out the entire project.The “Blue and Gold” is a nearly 3,500 acre tract of mature and old-growth forest on the eastern slopes of the Coast Range between Eugene and Roseburg.I actually visited the Blue and Gold forest a couple years ago. It was immediately clear that it was a special place deserving of protection, and I'm grateful to the organizers, lawyers, and activists who worked for years to do just that.I think it's always worth taking time to celebrate our victories.But the details of the BLM's behavior in pushing this timber sale were shocking, and I wanted to make sure that the details of their actions don't get lost, especially as they prepare to radically change their management plans to maximize industrial timber harvest at the behest of the Trump administration.So I invited Nick Cady, Legal Director for Cascadia Wildlands to talk with me about the lawsuit, why he thinks the BLM is unfit to manage public land, and why he is so optimistic about defeating Trump's maximum logging agenda.I would love to hear your thoughts, email me anytime at coastrangeradio@gmail.comhttps://www.instagram.com/coastrangeradio/

Photo: The All Pueblo Council of Governors were in attendance at a press conference in Santa Ana Pueblo on Wednesday May 20, 2026 in support of Chaco Canyon making the list for America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. (Jeanette DeDios) The National Trust for Historic Preservation has placed the Greater Chaco Cultural Landscape on this year's list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. The nomination came from the All Pueblo Council of Governors, which supports the preservation and cultural significance of the landscape in the face of increasing threats. KUNM's Jeanette DeDios (Jicarilla Apache and Diné) has more. On the lands of Santa Ana Pueblo, Council members highlighted their ancestral ties to the archaeological and cultural site. Chaco features over 600 rooms built 1,200 years ago with precise geometric masonry and crafted without the use of metal tools. This endangered listing comes after the Bureau of Land Management tried last year to revoke or modify a public order, that currently safeguards over 300 thousands acres of federal land from new oil and gas leasing for 20 years. Pueblo of Acoma Gov. Charles Riley says there's a cultural responsibility to Chaco Canyon. “When we speak of Chaco, we are not merely speaking of ruins, we are speaking of the spirits of our ancestors, who are still present, still teaching, and still carrying and asking us to carry forward what they entrusted to us.” Riley says the Pueblo of Acoma is not opposed to development. “We are opposed to development that proceeds without meaningful consultation, without honest environmental review, and without regard for places that are irreplaceable.” This year's listing is the second time in 15 years that Chaco has been placed on the list. This is the first year that the 11 sites nominated will receive a one-time grant of $25,000 from the National Trust to help with conservation efforts. The council is asking the U.S. Department of Interior to stop the process of dismantling the public land order and make the current ten-mile buffer around Chaco permanent. They are also asking members of the public to contact their Congress in support. A number of Pueblo governors have reached out to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum through letters and invitations to visit Chaco, but he has not responded. Southern Ute Indian Chairman Melvin Baker, left, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum ink the first-ever Tribal Energy Resource Agreement on May 11, 2026. (Photo: Lowell Whitman / Interior Department / Public Domain) A tribe from the Four Corners region has inked a historic deal with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum advancing the Trump administration's domestic energy agenda. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. The Southern Ute Indian Tribe in southwest Colorado has entered the first-ever Tribal Energy Resource Agreement (TERA), more than two decades after Congress enacted the law. This allows the nearly 1,500 member tribe to handle its own business without obtaining expressed permission from the Interior Department. Councilman Andrew Gallegos testified before Congress last month. “Having the tribe regulate and be the one that oversees all of our compliances and makes us more sovereign as a tribe, and the economic value that it brings is the health and welfare of our membership.” That will include the leasing of energy projects and issuing of right-of-ways on the 700,000 acre reservation near Durango.

Texas land is changing quickly. Ranches are getting smaller, development pressure is increasing, and landowners are being asked to balance conservation, production, recreation, and long-term stewardship in new ways. In this episode of Landowner Insider, Kasey Mock sits down with Shane Kiefer, CEO of Plateau Land & Wildlife Management, to discuss what the future of Texas land management looks like and how landowners can adapt. This conversation goes beyond traditional wildlife tax valuations and explores how land stewardship has evolved across the state. Kasey and Shane discuss the growing demand for comprehensive land management, the challenges of smaller properties, and the pressures created by development and population growth. They also cover how landowners are approaching habitat management, grazing, invasive species control, and long-term planning, along with the role private land plays in supporting wildlife across Texas. Kasey and Shane provide practical, experience-based insight into what it takes to manage land effectively in today's environment. If you own land or are considering it, this episode offers a clearer understanding of how Texas land is changing and what it means for long-term ownership and stewardship.   https://plateauwildlife.com/ 

Public lands stewardship has most definitely changed under the second presidential administration of Donald Trump. Land-management agencies such as the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, and Bureau of Land Management have lost thousands of employees, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is on a mission to turn the country's public lands into a cash cow of sorts. As the political tenure in Washington D.C., swings wildly back and forth like a massive pendulum when it comes to our public lands, there is an effort under way to provide a roadmap for public lands stewardship in the United States that stretches far into the future.    Ground Shift is a new nonprofit organization working to, as they put it, "develop creative, durable, and transformative ideas to shape the next century of public land and water stewardship in the United States." To better understand this organization and its goals, our guests today are Lynn Scarlett, who was a deputy Interior secretary during the administration of President George Bush, and Tracy Stone-Manning, who directed the Bureau of Land Management under President Joe Biden.

RURAL AMERICA UNDER FIRE: GRAZING RIGHTS, ALPHA-GAL SYNDROME, AND THE FIGHT FOR AGRICULTURAL FREEDOM On this episode of Rural Route, Trent Loos welcomes Nevada rancher Hank Vogler for a hard-hitting conversation about the growing pressure facing ranchers, public land grazing, and the future of American agriculture. The two dive into concerns surrounding massive AI data centers in Las Vegas, the strain they place on water and energy resources, and the bigger questions about who controls the future of rural America. Hank shares alarming updates from Nevada's federally controlled grazing lands, where ranchers are battling increasing restrictions from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). He explains how range scientists have been replaced by wildlife specialists and discusses what he believes is a growing hostility toward livestock grazing. The conversation also explores wildfire risks in sagebrush country, water shortages, and the long-term impact government policies could have on food production and land stewardship. Trent and Hank also tackle major health concerns, including the rise of alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-borne illness that causes allergic reactions to beef and pork. They question whether lab-grown and cell-cultured proteins could create new health risks tied to engineered food systems. The discussion expands into broader concerns about government intervention in agriculture, food independence, grazing rights, and the future of ranching families across America. The episode closes with a powerful discussion about Nebraska politics, BLM permit disputes, public land management, and what it may take for rural Americans to push back against policies they believe are threatening their livelihoods and way of life.

It was then that John and I were slapped awake by the brilliant color and majestic presence of our hosts. The walls and ceilings that gave us shelter by night had, in the morning's light, come alive with the vivid forms of men, deer, mountain lion, bighorn sheep, birds and rabbits, all superimposed within a great mural.The Indigenous peoples of Baja California have long survived the unforgiving conditions of the desert by adapting to nature. But everything changes when the Spanish conquistadors start arriving and the missionaries are deployed. With no written language, the Indigenous shamans paint their people's history into murals on the walls of mountain caves. As suggested by one such mural, Califa, a clever Cochimi healer, and her shaman husband, temporarily trick the Spanish invaders into retreat. But nothing can keep the massive galleons away forever, and over the next centuries, the Native peoples either acquiesce to the missionaries out of hunger or die from illnesses introduced by the Europeans.Nearly three hundred years after the establishment of the first Spanish mission, three young American men set out to backpack the length of Baja California. They follow the Camino Real along the trail of the Jesuits, seeking out the Indigenous rock-art sites and what remains of the missions. Along the way, they are frequently aided by descendants of the first colonists and the original Native peoples, though these ranchers, vaqueros, and other hard-working people aren't exactly sure whether these backpackers aren't crazy. As they make the 1200-mile, 110-day trek, the Americans encounter many of the same dangers and challenges faced by the Indigenous peoples and their conquerors, while also thrilling to the beauty of the landscape, the generosity of the people, and the mystical enchantment of the cave paintings.A thoroughly engaging blend of history, historical fiction, and memoir, The Elusive Conquest of Queen Califa brings history to life both as it happened and as it's being reflected upon in the midst of a great adventure undertaken by three intrepid young men hundreds of years later.A historian, conservation biologist and storyteller, Ehrgott writes to bridge myth and fact, honoring the voices of those often left out of traditional histories. In 1975, after Alan Ehrgott had earned his bachelor's degree in conservation biology and was halfway through a master's at U.C. Riverside, he embarked on the great adventure of backpacking the length of Baja California. For the next fifty years, Alan continued to research California's history. Meanwhile, under contract by the Bureau of Land Management he published The Organized Recreation use of the California Desert. For ten years, he owned an adventure-travel business, and he founded the American River Conservancy and was its executive director for 30 years. During his tenure, he completed 83 acquisitions of riverfront and endangered-species habitat, protecting and enhancing over 27,000 acres within the American and Cosumnes River watersheds. In 2017, Alan won the National Wilderness Conservation Award for his purchase of 10,000 acres of forest at the headwaters of the American River and the dedication of a 3,033-acre portion as wilderness which was gifted to the Tahoe National Forest.Alan is now retired and lives in Coloma, California. As a conservation biologist and wilderness guide he has explored large portions of the world but finds he is most fascinated by the natural and cultural ecologies of Indigenous Californians. In writing The Elusive Conquest of Queen Califa, he explores the early history of California, and uses the larger-than-life painted murals of the Cochimi tribe found in the Sacred Canyons of central Baja California to tell stories of these native people and their 162 years of successfully resisting colonization by Spanish conquistadors and Jesuit padres.https://californiaconquest.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Water quality regulations have always played a significant role in agricultural land management across Florida. In this episode, Tyler Davis and Brandon DuRant of Saunders Real Estate are joined by Robert Angus and Allan Charles of Lewis, Longman & Walker, P.A. to discuss the regulatory framework surrounding water quality, including Basin Management Action Plans and Best Management Practices (BMPs), and how these apply to farm and ranch operations. The conversation outlines how BMPs function as a compliance pathway, the role of agricultural classification in property taxes and land use, and how programs tied to water policy and citrus health are affecting landowners. The discussion provides practical context around how these factors intersect with day-to-day land management and broader land use considerations in Florida. Lewis, Longman & Walker, P.A. is a long-standing strategic partner of the Lay of the Land® Conference. Learn more at SaundersRealEstate.com and LLW-Law.com.

HANK VOGLER SOUNDS THE ALARM ON RIGHTS, RANCHING, AND THE FIGHT FOR AMERICA On this powerful episode of Rural Route, Trent Loos is joined by Nevada rancher Hank Vogler for a hard-hitting conversation that pulls no punches. Hank dives straight into the growing concerns around education in America, calling out the decline in standards and the impact of DEI policies that, he argues, are replacing merit with ideology. The discussion makes one thing clear—what's happening in classrooms today could shape the future of the nation for generations. The conversation then shifts to the foundation of America itself, highlighting the importance of the Bill of Rights and the lasting power of the Constitution. Hank and Trent break down key moments from the Revolutionary War era and connect those lessons to today's battles over constitutional freedoms, including rising concerns about threats to Second Amendment rights in Nevada. But the most intense moments come when Hank shares his personal story. He reveals decades-long conflicts with the Bureau of Land Management, describing how federal overreach has targeted ranchers and chipped away at property rights. From witnessing government pressure firsthand in the 1980s to today's legal battles, Hank lays out a sobering look at what he believes is a coordinated effort to push livestock producers off public lands. The episode wraps with a real-world look at the challenges facing agriculture today—labor shortages, training the next generation, and the ongoing fight to keep ranching alive in places like Nevada where the sheep industry has already taken major hits. It's a bold, eye-opening episode that raises serious questions about freedom, land, and the future of rural America.

Guest Minnesota native Aaron Hebeisen grew up hunting, fishing, and recreating outdoors. His lifelong passion for wildlife led him to earn an Animal Ecology degree from Iowa State University. He has worked for the Minnesota Conservation Corps, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture on wildlife disease research, and is now the Field Operations Coordinator with Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, supporting chapters in 10 states across the Midwest and the southern U.S. Summary This episode explores the meaning, management, and future of public lands in the United States. The discussion begins by defining public lands—roughly 640 million federally managed acres overseen by agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service—and emphasizes their "multiple-use" mandate, balancing recreation, resource extraction, and conservation. Aaron highlights BHA's mission to advocate for these lands on behalf of all users, not just hunters and anglers, framing Americans as "public landowners" with both rights and responsibilities. A key theme is the complexity of land and water access, illustrated through conflicts over stream access laws in states like Illinois, where differing definitions of "navigability" create legal gray areas and tension among stakeholders. The conversation also examines policy advocacy, including coalition-building, lobbying, and navigating bipartisan politics. Aaron describes BHA's approach as "radically purple"—engaged but nonpartisan—focused on finding common ground across competing interests. A major case study is the rollback of mining protections near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area via H.R. 140, which Aaron argues could set a precedent for weakening environmental safeguards nationwide. Despite such challenges, the episode remains grounded in a broader philosophical reflection: public lands are a uniquely American inheritance that fosters personal connection, humility, and stewardship. Ultimately, Aaron underscores that protecting these lands requires active civic engagement—if people don't participate, they risk losing access to what is collectively theirs. A key takeaway Public lands belong to all of us, but their future depends on whether people actively engage in protecting them—through stewardship, advocacy, and participation in the political process.

Josh didn't know anything about the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) until he was looking for an escape during the pandemic. After visiting a few BLM managed areas in California, he decided to make it his mission to visit every area managed by this federal agency in the state. This marked the start of The Forgotten Lands Project, Josh's effort to raise awareness about these largely unknown patches of public land.I was drawn to Josh's work because of my connection to a BLM managed protected area near my home in Boise, Idaho - the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area. This National Conservation Area is a part of BLM's National Conservation Lands system, and it is a truly special place. In less than an hour's drive, I can be siting along the rim of a dramatic canyon with prairie falcons whizzing by and golden eagles circling overhead. This Conservation Area is home to one of the highest density nesting areas for birds of prey in the world. Because of its proximity to this unique area for raptors, Boise has become known as a global hub for raptor research. In the 1980s the Peregrine Fund established the World Center for Birds of Prey here, and Boise State University launched the Raptor Research Center, home to the only graduate degree program in Raptor Biology in the US. There's also a famous raptor migration survey effort run by the Intermountain Bird Observatory just outside of town, and our minor league baseball team is called the Hawks!Despite all of this, the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area, which was designed to protect raptor populations, is woefully underfunded and understaffed. In my role as a board member of the Birds of Prey NCA Partnership, a “friends” group associated with this National Conservation Area, I'm trying to elevate the profile of these BLM managed public lands. Josh Jackson shares this mission, and the two of us had an engaged conversation about the role of public land in our society and the challenges facing the Bureau of Land Management.A version of this interview was originally published as an episode of the Dedication Point podcast - a series focused on issues relevant to the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area. Check out our latest season of Dedication Point for more discussions about the BLM's current funding and staffing crisis.-Matt Podolsky Get full access to Earth to Humans Podcast's Substack at earthtohumanspodcast.substack.com/subscribe

Jon Collins and Big Al discuss the annual event of a coyotes crazy being reset, and how YOU can take advantage of that happening.

Prescribed burns are carefully planned fires on public lands to help reduce the risk of wildfires in communities. They're often conducted by by government agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management, but new groups of community members are now getting involved. Prescribed Burn Associations, also known as PBAs, are local groups of community members, land owners and other volunteers that conduct prescribed burns on private land. They also work closely with certified burn managers for planning, securing permits and more to prepare the site for fire.   Chris Adlam is a regional fire specialist for Oregon State University's Extension Program. Aaron Krikava is an organizer for the Rogue Valley PBA. They both join us to share more on what PBAs are and the impact they have had in Oregon.  

In this episode, we're diving headfirst into what we call “Fantasy Land Management”—the world where habitat strategies sound great on paper, circulate heavily online, and get repeated often… but fall apart when applied on real ground. Too many landowners are making decisions based on secondhand opinions, outdated practices, or “highlight reel” results without ever questioning if those approaches actually fit their property, region, or goals. The result? Wasted time, wasted money, and in some cases, habitat that's worse than where they started. We break down some of the most common false ideas in land management—things like over-prioritizing food plots, misunderstanding cover, blindly copying what works in other states, or assuming more work always equals better results. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's effective. This episode is about cutting through the noise and getting back to principles that actually matter: observation, context, and outcomes. Good management isn't built on trends—it's built on understanding your land, your limitations, and the wildlife you're trying to support. If you've ever felt like you're chasing results that never quite show up, this conversation will help reset your approach and refocus your efforts where they actually count.
