What happens to America's wild horses after they're rounded up? Why is the politics around public lands and wild horses so heated? And what does it look like when horses are given their freedom back?In this moving and wide-ranging episode, we sat down with Scott Beckstead, a lifelong animal advocate, law professor, and Chief Equine Program Officer at the Wild Horse Refuge the world's largest sanctuary of its kind, spanning 30,000 acres in Northwest Colorado.Scott walks us through:The daily joy (and responsibility) of overseeing 200+ wild horses living free on the rangeThe legacy of Picasso - the most iconic Mustang in America - and the horses that carry his bloodline todayHow trauma shapes behavior in wild horses and what it means to let them heal on their own termsWhy wild horses are native to North America despite what the critics sayThe controversial role of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and how Scott's team has formed a surprising partnership to give horses a second chanceFertility control, land politics, and why building one refuge per state could be the game-changer we all need

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to discuss three junior gold exploration companies that have put out recent newsflow to the market; where he is attracted to their current value proposition.   Altamira Gold Corp. (TSXV: ALTA) (OTC Pink: EQTRF) announced May 5th the results of an independently assessed, maiden mineral resource estimate for the Maria Bonita porphyry gold deposit within the Cajueiro Project. Maria Bonita is a separate discovery, located 7km to the west of, and additional to, the Cajueiro Central Mineral Resource (previously reported under NI 43-101). The maiden open-pit resource consists of total Indicated Resources of 24.19Mt @ 0.46g/t gold (for a total of 357,800oz) and Total Inferred Resources of 25.64Mt @ 0.44g/t gold (for a total of 362,400oz). These resources include near-surface saprolite Indicated Resources of 2,02Mt @ 0.59g/t gold (for a total of 38,000oz) and Inferred Resources of 0.68t @ 0.40g/t gold (for a total of 8,700oz).   Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) announced May 5th that the world renowned JDS Energy & Mining Inc. has been engaged to assess the viability, permitting and development of an underground exploration adit at Surebet, at its 100% controlled Golddigger property, Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The Company has tasked JDS with an exploration adit to access a broad expanse of the gently-dipping, high-grade gold lode called the Bonanza Zone that sits approximately 200 meters above the valley floor. This adit will enable underground drilling of extensive parts of the overall Surebet lode system thus lowering drill meters required for advanced resource work, and potentially enable a longer drill season at the project.   K2 Gold Corporation (TSXV: KTO) (OTCQB: KTGDF) announced May 5th that the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has released the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for K2's Mojave Exploration Drilling Project in Inyo County, CA. The BLM has also published a Notice of Availability in the Federal Register, opening the final 45-day comment period on the project. This is a key milestone for the company as they approach the end of the permitting process to commence drilling, and comes on the back of years of diligent environmental studies, community engagement, and collaboration with regulatory agencies.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.  Additionally, Shad is also a shareholder of Goliath Resources at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Chris Temple, Editor and Publisher of the National Investor, joins us to delve into the renewed interest in base metals, gold, uranium, and other critical minerals and the implications and potential benefits to the US as a mining jurisdiction on the back of the new executive order from Trump issued on March 20th titled “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production.”   This executive order will utilize the Defense Production Act (DPA) to focus on sourcing more domestically mined, processed, or refined critical minerals and strategic mineral as a matter of national security.  There appears to be a joint effort between the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation and the Department of Defense to provide investment support, loans, and possibly grant for mining projects.  There is also an expedited priority on reviewing the permitting on projects seeking development from usual base metals like nickel aluminum and copper, but also includes rare earths, gold, and uranium.   Chris outlines what impact these initiatives may have on permitting timelines and regulations around developing new mines, as well as how this could affect opening up more funds, loans, and grants to bring in the necessary capital for moving these projects forward.  However, while there are many positives, Chris points to how many hurtles are still in place at various levels of government and from legal actions from NGOs; in addition to how much more real work is needed to earnestly impact the extractive industries in the United States.  We also layer on how this executive order squares with other policy initiatives like tariffs on many metals and countries, and a reduction in government workers and cost cutting measures.   This leads into a nuanced discussion of the spotlight and investor interest back on many of the large advanced projects that have been stalled for decades like Northern Dynasty's Pebble, Trilogy's Rambler road access to the Upper Kobuk mineral project, Rio Tinto's Resolution Mine in Arizona, and the Teck-Glencore JV at NorthMet in Minnesota.  Chris reminds listeners that with all those projects, if they do ever get approved, they would still be many years from producing more of these critical minerals.    He also highlights examples of how the government and manufacturers have a poor track record of acting in on these kinds of initiatives in a timely manner. Chris points to the disconnect in the long permitting process where the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) finally approved Lithium Americas Thacker Pass Lithium Project, and then automotive giant General Motors announced it would invest $650M in the mine project, giving GM exclusive access to the first phase of production.  When everything did finally start lining up for project development, the lithium prices which had been high for years reversed course and cratered in price, with an oversupply of lithium flooding the market and expectations being lowered for EV adoption rates and future demand.   We wrap up with Chris sharing why his top 3 commodities areas for this year are still gold, uranium, and traditional energy with oil and gas companies.   He is encouraged by the record all-time high prices in gold during the first quarter of 2025, but feels the biggest opportunity for resource investors at present is in the deeply discounted uranium equities, which he stated “are a gift at these levels.”   Click here to follow along with Chris at the National Investor website.

There are certain topics in this world that are likely the most controversial - wolves, feral cats, and wild horses. Wild Horses for some reason evoke such emotions that there has been little work done on exposing what is actually going on. We are starting to delve into this topic more and more and there is not greater place to talk about this topic than Nevada. Former Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) employee Jenny Lesieutre is now speaking out around the management of wild horses after being involved in the space for almost two decades. As a horse owner and self-professed horse lover herself, you'll find that it is not from a place of malice that she advocates for management, rather because they are destroying their own habitat and environment without badly needed management protocols - because leaving them alone isn't working. This is a MUST LISTEN PODCAST.  Get to know the guest: https://www.instagram.com/jennylesieutre/ https://votefab40.com/2024/jenny-lesieutre Do you have questions we can answer?

In this episode of The Mineral Rights Podcast, we explore several major developments affecting mineral and royalty owners in early 2025. The appointment of Kathleen Sgamma to head the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) signals potential changes in federal land management that could benefit mineral owners, particularly those with interests adjacent to federal lands. The episode also covers OPEC's production decisions, significant developments in domestic lithium production, and current drilling activity across major U.S. basins and our updated outlook for 2025. As always, links to the articles discussed can be found in the show notes at mineralrightspodcast.com.

Despite spending over one million dollars for a public relations campaign on the issue, Utah's lawsuit against the Federal Government over the management of unappropriated lands in the state has been denied by the United States Supreme Court. The “unappropriated” land in question is approximately 18.5 million acres, or 34% of land in Utah, controlled by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Federal Land Policy Management Act (FLPMA). Host Erin Rider walks listeners through the implications of this decision on Utahns.

Proactive's Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the Facts' of the latest news from Anson Resources Ltd (ASX:ASN, OTCQB:ANSNF). The company has secured approval to drill 24 exploration holes, totalling approximately 1,000 metres, at its Yellow Cat Uranium and Vanadium Project in Utah, USA. Permits were granted by the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (UDOGM). The drilling will target a 2-kilometre mineralised trend between the Windy Point Mine and the Mineral Treasure Mine, where samples have shown up to 10.33% uranium (U₃O₈) and 25.6% vanadium (V₂O₅). Fifteen holes will be drilled on the eastern side near Windy Point Mine, with the remainder on the western side near Mineral Treasure Mine. The program aims to develop a JORC-compliant resource using new and historical data. Shallow drilling depths of 12 to 40 metres will minimise costs and environmental impact. Located in the Colorado Plateau region, Yellow Cat has garnered interest due to rising uranium prices and US support for domestic production. While the company's primary focus is on lithium projects, it continues to advance Yellow Cat and plans to commence drilling in the coming months, contingent on local conditions and equipment availability. #ProactiveInvestors #AnsonResources #ASX #OTCQB #UraniumMining #Vanadium #YellowCatProject #MineralExploration #USMining #SustainableEnergy #EnergyTransition #NuclearEnergy #UraniumPrices #JORCResource #MiningApproval #UtahMining #BLMApproval #WhiteMesaMill #NuclearPower #RenewableEnergy #CriticalMinerals #LowCostDrilling #Mineralisation

A winged creature from Oregon was crowned this year's winner in an annual bat beauty contest put on by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). On Halloween, which was also the last day of International Bat Week, a hoary bat with a feisty personality named "Hoary Potter" defeated "Lestat," the western small-footed bat from Idaho, in the final round of the contest. It also bested a Townsend's big-eared bat named "Sir Flaps-A-Lot" from Utah, among others. The victory marks the third year in a row that a bat from Oregon has taken first place in the contest. Last year, "William ShakespEAR," a female Townsend's big-eared bat from southern Oregon took the title. In 2022, a canyon bat named "Barbara" also from southern Oregon was declared the winner. The federal agency has held the competition since 2019 to raise awareness about the animal's ecological importance. The bats are part of wild populations living on public lands, and are photographed by agency staff. BLM posted the photos on its Facebook and Instagram accounts, and asked people to vote for the cutest one. Hoary bats are known for swift flight and wrapping themselves in their own tails to mimic leaves and to hide from predators, the agency said. Because of this attribute, it estimated Hoary Potter would be "the perfect candidate for seeker on this year's Quidditch team," referring to the game in Harry Potter that is played on flying brooms. Emma Busk, the BLM wildlife technician who photographed Hoary Potter, said bats play a key role in the environment by eating insects and pollinating flowers and fruits. But they're increasingly facing the threats of habitat loss, disease and light pollution, and are often misunderstood as scary disease carriers, she said. "Less than 1% of all bat populations actually carry rabies, and the bat-to-human disease transmission is actually really low," she said. Busk said she hopes the event inspires more love for the only flying mammal. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

This is Eric Stark with The Smart RVer Podcast, Delivering the Smarts you need to enjoy the freedom of the RV Lifestyle without the fear of breaking down!

In this week's episode of the Sportsmen's Voice Roundup, Fred is joined once again by  CSF Director of Federal Relations Taylor Schmitz to discuss the recent decision by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to close the Bears Ears National Monument to recreational shooting, a move that has raised concerns among the sporting community. Fred and Taylor delve into the implications of legislation such as the Dingell Act, which mandates that federal lands are open unless closed, and how this decision appears to contradict that principle. Taylor emphasizes the need for community action and awareness regarding the management of national monuments and the potential loss of access to recreational activities to sportsmen and women.   Then, Fred is back covering all that's fit to print related to hunting, fishing, and other conservation issues across the nation including Florida's Amendment 2, Pennsylvania's Sunday hunting expansion, Wisconsin's public land acquisition fund, and Wyoming's celebration of National Hunting and Fishing Day.   Takeaways Bears Ears National Monument + BLM VS The Dingell- Act: The Bears Ears National Monument is now closed to recreational shooting, meanwhile the Dingell Act establishes that federal lands are open unless closed raises questions about compliance with the Dingell Act concerning the closure.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently adopted comprehensive new land management regulations known as the “Conservation and Landscape Health Rule,” or simply, “the Public Lands Rule.” The rule has spurred litigation challenging the Interior Department’s authority to establish a conservation “overlay” over 245 million acres of federal lands. Some argue that this rule, which aims to “build and maintain the resilience of ecosystems on public lands,” violates the Federal Land Policy Management Act (FLPMA), which requires BLM to “manage the public lands under principles of multiple use and sustained yield” and “regulate, through easements, permits, leases, licenses, published rules, or other instruments as the Secretary deems appropriate, the use, occupancy, and development of the public lands.” In the Public Lands Rule, BLM claims “wide discretion to determine how those [FLPMA] principles [of multiple use and sustained yield] should be applied.” Whether this new rule improperly places “conservation” above other uses of federal lands – for grazing, recreation, energy production, or otherwise – is the subject of heated debate. In this FedSoc Forum, a panel of experts from different vantage points will consider the legal and policy merits of the “Public Lands Rule” and address whether the rule should survive judicial review and/or congressional scrutiny.Featuring:Prof. Sam Kalen, Associate Dean, William T.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss two junior gold exploration companies with recent news out to the market; where he is attracted to the current value proposition.   Goliath Resources (TSX.V:GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) announced yesterday that they have hit drill intercepts of the highest concentration of visible gold in their drill core to date at their Surebet Discovery, where 66% of 2024 drill holes have contained visible gold, and 100% of them have hit the desired types of mineralization that carry the gold and copper. In addition, in that same news release, they announced a “New Deep Zone” that is mineralized 1.2kms below surface and remains open, along with a new Blue Origin discovery, and that with their additional capital raise that they are expanding this year's drill program to 36,000 meters with 8 drill rigs now turning.*   Headwater Gold (CSE: HWG) (OTCQB: HWAUF) announced today the acquisitions of two additional epithermal vein projects, Rock Creek and Hot Creek, in Northern Nevada. Both projects have been acquired through claim staking on open ground managed by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and are owned 100%.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   * In full disclosure, Shad is also a shareholder of Goliath Resources at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently reused an outdated assessment and failed to conduct a new count despite severe winter conditions that reduced horse numbers. The roundup of the White Mountain Herd, which involved the use of helicopters, resulted in significant stress for the horses.    In this episode, I explain why I call the BLM's White Mountain wild horse roundup “a pre-zero roundup,” and how The Rock Springs Grazing Association's influence in limiting wild horse populations, and the subsequent lack of transparency regarding post-roundup counts, are significant concerns. To safeguard the future of wild horses and prevent further herd reductions, it is crucial to spread awareness. This episode shares how you can make a difference.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/39    

In this episode, host Lyla June interviews Dean Barlese, an elder and spiritual leader from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe and Max Wilbert, writer and community organizer whose been part of grassroots political work for 20 years, and is the founder of Protect Thacker Pass.Their discussion focuses around the status of the lithium mining project to be built on Thacker Pass, a physical feature located Humboldt County Nevada, a traditional and unceded territory of the Paiute and Shoshone people, and is United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public land. The traditional Paiute name of Thacker Pass is Peehee Mu'huh meaning “rotten moon.” Now it is also the site of a massive lithium mine under construction, that is destroying the area and valuable habitat for the creatures who live there.Throughout the episode, our guests touch on how they are fighting against this project, what the lands means to them, and next steps.To learn more or get involved, visit ProtectThackerPass.orgTo donate, visit GiveButter.comTo read the autobiography of Billy Haywood, visit Archive.org

In this episode, Ben and Simone discuss the Yuma East travel management plan in Southwestern Arizona. They explain the different alternatives proposed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the potential impact on off-roading routes. They highlight the importance of understanding the terms 'OHV limited' and 'administrative use only' when evaluating the proposed closures. They also discuss the presence of wilderness areas and lands with wilderness characteristics in the plan and the implications for road closures. Ben and Simone emphasize the need for public comments and potential litigation to challenge the BLM's interpretation of public land management laws.

The Wiyot Tribe has entered into a special partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to help manage Headwaters Forest Reserve, part of the Tribe's ancestral territory. Headwaters Forest needs some help. The majority of the forest is in rough shape from a history of industrial logging, resulting in poor forest health and impaired watersheds. Together, the Wiyot Tribe and the BLM are working to restore the forest through ecological forestry and watershed restoration. The partnership between the two governments allows the Wiyot Tribe to utilize its traditional ecological knowledge in the furtherance of good land stewardship of its ancestral territory for the benefit of the general public. Marisa McGrew and Zach Erickson of the Wiyot Tribe join Marissa Vossmer and Zane Ruddy of the BLM to discuss their work to restore Headwaters Forest Reserve.Support the Show.

Lancaster Resources CEO Penny White joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share exciting news about the company's latest milestone. The United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has granted Lancaster approval for the Plan of Operations concerning the Alkali Flat Lithium Brine Phase 1 drill program. This approval follows a previous permit granted by the New Mexico Mining and Minerals Division, marking a significant step forward in the project's development. White detailed the scope and implications of this approval, highlighting that it includes the potential to drill up to three wells on the playa. This provision allows for an expedited regulatory process, contingent on the results of the maiden well, expected in the second quarter of 2024. The approval also comes with stringent conditions aimed at ensuring access, safety, and environmental protection. Lancaster Resources has worked closely with the BLM to develop these conditions, demonstrating their commitment to meeting or exceeding all regulatory requirements. This collaboration underscores Lancaster's dedication to safeguarding the environment and ensuring the safety of all stakeholders involved. The Alkali Flat Lithium Project targets a closed-basin brine deposit located in a playa lake setting. This strategic location is advantageous due to its proximity to major transportation infrastructure, including a major rail line and interstate highway, which provide excellent access to the project site. The Drill Permit area is situated approximately 8 miles north of the renowned 15MW Lightning Dock Known Geothermal Resource Area, further highlighting the project's promising potential. The Alkali Flat Lithium Project represents a significant opportunity for Lancaster Resources to contribute to the growing demand for lithium, a critical component in the production of batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. As the world transitions towards a more sustainable energy future, the successful development of the Alkali Flat Lithium Project will position Lancaster Resources as a key player in the lithium supply chain. #proactiveinvestors #lancasterresourcesinc #cse #lcr @otcqb #lanrf #LithiumBrineProject #PennyWhite #GeologicalSurvey #LithiumDiscovery #AlkaliFlatProject #MiningApproval #NewMexicoLithium #BLMApproval #DrillingProgram #ExploratoryWell #LithiumConcentration #GeothermalSource #VolcanicRocks #SustainableEnergy #MiningMilestone #ResourceEstimation #LithiumAquifers #ClaytonValley #MiningGeography#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

They also discuss new rules proposed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that could impact hunting and fishing on public lands. They mention a recent incident where a hunter in Montana killed a grizzly bear in self-defense. They also touch on the importance of protecting wilderness areas and the delisting of gray wolves from the Endangered Species Act. Website- danddoutdoorspod.com

Summary: This episode discusses the final draft of the BLM landscape health and conservation rule, which aims to flood money into the public land system to control management. The rule introduces new types of leases, such as restoration and mitigation leases, and prioritizes areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs). The hosts express concerns about the rule's lack of statutory authority and its potential impact on motorized recreation. They also question the need for the rule, as many of its provisions are already covered by existing laws and programs. The conversation discusses the proposed conservation rule and its potential impact on public lands. The hosts argue that the rule is a power grab by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and gives unilateral authority to state directors to designate Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs) without congressional approval. They highlight the potential consequences for grazing allotments and the transfer of wealth from public land users to environmental groups through mitigation funds. They emphasize the need for congressional oversight and support for the West Act.   Takeaways The BLM landscape health and conservation rule aims to flood money into the public land system to control management. The rule introduces new types of leases, such as restoration and mitigation leases, and prioritizes areas of critical environmental concern (ACECs). There are concerns about the rule's lack of statutory authority and its potential impact on motorized recreation. Many of the provisions in the rule are already covered by existing laws and programs. The proposed conservation rule gives unilateral authority to state directors of the BLM to designate ACECs without congressional approval. The rule could have significant consequences for grazing allotments and other public land uses. Mitigation funds created through the rule could result in a transfer of wealth from public land users to environmental groups. The criteria for ACEC designation are vague and could be subject to abuse. Congressional oversight and support for the West Act are necessary to address the concerns raised by the rule. Sound Bites "The BLM landscape conservation rule will only affect BLM land. The Wall Street rule would have affected everything." "There is an organized political movement that is doing everything it can to remove roads off the landscape so that it can create wilderness." "This is a land grab. This is them saying, we no longer need presidents in the antiquities act. We no longer need Congress and wilderness designations." "Once they get it designated as an ACEC, then it's going to be nearly impossible to remove that ACEC designation."   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and recent events 04:46 Legislation and potential legal challenges 09:29 Prioritization of ACECs in the rule 13:44 Concerns about the rule's provisions 23:32 Ulterior motives and the need for the rule 26:57 Unilateral Authority: The Power Grab by the Bureau of Land Management 29:35 Consequences for Grazing Allotments and Public Land Uses 36:23 Wealth Transfer: Mitigation Funds and Environmental Groups 41:21 Vague Criteria: Potential for Abuse in ACEC Designation 48:23 Congressional Oversight and the Need for the West Act

NCLA filed an amicus curiae brief in U.S. v. Pheasant, urging the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to affirm a decision barring the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from wielding legislative power to criminalize activity on public lands. Gregory Pheasant was charged with three violations of BLM rules for allegedly failing to use a taillight on his dirt bike at night on federal land in Nevada. A federal district court dismissed the charges, ruling that Congress unconstitutionally delegated “virtually unfettered” legislative power to criminalize activities on BLM-managed lands. NCLA asks the Ninth Circuit to uphold this decision and reasoning. In this episode, Mark and Vec are joined by NCLA's Kara Rollins to discuss the case. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ioneer Ltd (ASX:INR) managing director Bernard Rowe is with Proactive's Jonathan Jackson to discuss the latest developments at the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project in Nevada. Ioneer has reached a crucial phase in advancing the proposed mine with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issuing the project's draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), a key step in the environmental permitting process for this greenfield site in Esmeralda County. This draft EIS is particularly notable as it's the first issued under the Biden Administration's initiative to boost domestic lithium production. The statement is open for public comment, reflecting years of collaboration between Ioneer and various federal, state, local agencies and Tribal Nations. The project aims to significantly contribute to the US electric vehicle (EV) battery production supply chain, offering a sustainable source of lithium and boron critical for clean energy transitions. The revised mining proposal has been tailored to safeguard the endangered Tiehm's Buckwheat, showcasing Ioneer's commitment to responsible and sustainable mining practices. Construction is anticipated to start following a final investment decision and production is expected by 2027. #ProactiveInvestors #Ioneer #ASX #CriticalMinerals #Lithium #Boron #RhyoliteRidgeProject #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Psychic medium Melinda Williams joined guest host Connie Willis (info) to discuss her work helping earth bound spirits cross over, and how she uses her abilities to assist families and law enforcement on missing and murder cases. Williams reflected on her training under renowned figures like Paul Smith and Lisa Williams, and how she incorporated their teachings into her unique approach. She credited Smith for encouraging her to adapt his teachings to suit her own style. Her training with Lisa Williams and others further broadened her understanding of psychic detective work, exposing her to different methodologies that she incorporates into her own approach.Williams emphasized the importance of bringing closure to families, stating that it's the most significant aspect of her work. She recalled an incident from her childhood when she revealed a classmate's survival after a teacher announced her death, marking the beginning of her psychic experiences. Despite early resistance from her family and society, she continued to embrace her abilities, eventually delving into psychic detective work in her early twenties due to a friend's disappearance. This transition marked the start of her journey into using her psychic gifts to aid families and law enforcement.Williams emphasized the holistic nature of her approach to psychic detective work, incorporating various tools such as dowsing, Google Maps, essential oils, oracle cards, and more to gather information and insights. She described a case where her psychic insights led to the successful rescue of a missing child. Despite facing skepticism from some law enforcement agencies, she remains dedicated to helping families and law enforcement agencies find closure in cases involving missing persons and murders, especially those involving children.------------------------------------------Lindsey Brooks is cofounder of Great American Wild Horse, a social purpose organization that is striving to save wild mustangs and help create long-term solutions worldwide for threatened species. In the second half of the program, Brooks revealed the truth behind America's wild horse management. She commented on the interconnectedness of wild horses within ecosystems, and highlighted the catastrophic consequences of indiscriminate roundups by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) without considering the long-term impacts. Brooks argued that the removal of wild horses disrupts the delicate balance of ecosystems, leading to an increase in apex predator populations and triggering various cascading effects such as fires, droughts, and even bird deaths due to the absence of horse hair for nesting.Brooks delved into the historical significance of wild horses in American heritage, tracing their roots back to the Spanish colonization. She critiqued the BLM's management strategies, which prioritize economic interests over environmental conservation, particularly in the context of green energy development. Brooks exposed the influence of powerful industries like ranching and mining in shaping government policies, ultimately leading to the exploitation and slaughter of wild horses for profit.Brooks also reported on the inhumane treatment of wild horses during roundups, including the use of helicopters and cruel handling techniques by cowboys. She stressed the need for public awareness and advocacy to challenge these practices and hold government agencies accountable. Brooks encouraged listeners to take action, urging them to question their representatives and demand ethical and sustainable solutions to protect wild horse populations and preserve natural ecosystems. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/georgenoory/message

It's obvious the coordinated one world government is here as demonstrated by the orchestration of WW3, Civil War, open borders, Grid Down programing, Economic Collapse, pestilence, and contrived famine. Burn it down, bring in the beast technocratic system. It is time to get prepared spiritually and physically. What disturbs me deeply is the defamation / war on real God created food that is mostly around meat, fish and dairy. But, this VCAST we cover how will they control / destroy your backyard garden. We'll talk solutions in the end. War on the Food / Back Yard Gardens More fires around the world with our food supply chain. Planet Farms is the largest Agricultural vertically integrated production facility in Europe - it supports farmers grow Pesticide free crops, increase growth yields & reducing water consumption through technology. DEW or sabotage is highly suspected. The WEF mentioned Ecocide and farming is a cause. From the DrTenpenny Report, “It is January 2024. Amish farmers are still being raided, and Bill Gates is buying more US farmland for God only knows what purpose. For nearly a year, Deep State is trying to starve us, and starve us some more. Food plant fires and avian bird flu are all cleverly disguised, but all have one goal…control over the food supply. However, the COVID era is not the first time this has happened. Far from it. As the saying goes, history does repeat itself.” From the Wine Press News, “A new study recently published by the University of Michigan asserts that backyard and homegrown garden foods have upwards of six times the amount of carbon emissions, versus conventionally raised crops. Study co-author Jason Hawes, a doctoral student at U-M's School for Environment and Sustainability, commented on the results, saying: The exceptions revealed by our study suggest that urban agriculture practitioners can reduce their climate impacts by cultivating crops that are typically greenhouse-grown or air-freighted, in addition to making changes in site design and management. By assessing actual inputs and outputs on urban agriculture sites, we were able to assign climate change impacts to each serving of produce. This dataset reveals that urban agriculture has higher carbon emissions per serving of fruit or vegetable than conventional agriculture—with a few exceptions.Most of the climate impacts at urban farms are driven by the materials used to construct them—the infrastructure. These farms typically only operate for a few years or a decade, so the greenhouse gases used to produce those materials are not used effectively. Conventional agriculture, on the other hand, is very efficient and hard to compete with.” Be used for a national registry – big brother visuals Land Grab According to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the federal agency that oversees public lands in the United States, the BLM manages more than 247.3 million acres of land, or about one-eighth of the country's total landmass. Most of this land is in the 11 western states and Alaska. According to Natural News, Federal Entities own 40 million in land. Last we know Bill Gates has purchased farm land. Why? Scripture Reference Matthew 24:7 - For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Revelation 6:5-6 - And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

Reporter Ashley Ahearn bought a wild horse from the federal government for $125. Also, with opera and visual art, an exhibit looks at modern genetic engineering of pigs.The Captivating Story Of The West's Wild HorsesWild mustangs are an icon of the American West, conjuring a romantic vision of horses galloping free on an open prairie. But in reality, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) says the sensitive Western ecosystem can't handle the existing population of horses.There are about 80,000 wild horses in the American West, a number that grows about 10-20% each year. The BLM says the fragile, arid rangelands the horses occupy can only support a third of that number before they overgraze habitats critical for other species. This has led to controversial roundups to get wild horses off the open range.Science and environment reporter Ashley Ahearn dove deep into the history, symbolism, and ecological impact of the West's mustangs for the new podcast Mustang. She even adopted a wild horse, named Boo, from the federal government for $125. Ashley speaks with guest host Flora Lichtman about her boots-on-the-ground reporting, and what she learned from how tribal nations manage mustangs.An Artist Explores The History Of Humans Genetically Modifying PigsOver 100,000 people are waiting for organ donations in the United States. Many will likely never receive one, since there are so few available. So scientists are turning to pigs for potential alternatives. Their organs are remarkably similar to ours, and scientists are now using CRISPR to modify pigs' DNA to improve transplantation outcomes. But although the field has shown major advances in the last decade, the technique isn't ready yet. Recently, a patient who received a modified pig heart died six weeks after the surgery.Artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg was intrigued by these recent advances, and looked into humanity's history of modifying the pig over thousands of years for her new gallery exhibit, Hybrid: an Interspecies Opera. For the work, she interviewed scientists and archaeologists and even filmed in a lab that's experimenting with genetically modifying pigs to create more human-compatible organs.In the resulting documentary, which plays in the exhibit, the words from the scientists she interviewed are transposed into an opera composed by musician Bethany Barrett. Visitors can also find 3D-printed clay pig statues and a timeline of how humans have transformed pigs over ten millennia, thanks to selective breeding.Dewey-Hagborg sat down with SciFri producer D. Peterschmidt to talk about how the exhibit came together, and how CRISPR could further transform pigs and our relationship to them. To stay updated on all things science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.

Welcome back to another exciting episode of Wild Things & Wild Places! Get ready to embark on an enlightening journey as we dive deep into the heart of Wyoming's wild landscapes and its ongoing battle against the formidable foe known as cheatgrass. Today, we're joined by our expert guide, Joshua Coursey, and our special guest, Phillip Lockwood, a Fire Management Specialist for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) stationed at the Kemmerer Field Office. Together, we'll explore the critical mission of preserving Wyoming's natural beauty and the vital role the fight against cheatgrass plays in safeguarding the state's wild things and wild places. It's a conversation you won't want to miss! In the vast and beautiful landscapes of Wyoming, the battle against cheatgrass has become a top priority for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Cheatgrass, often referred to as the "cancer of Wyoming," is an invasive plant species that has been wreaking havoc on the state's native ecosystems. In this episode, we sit down with Phillip Lockwood, a Fire Management Specialist for the BLM stationed at the Kemmerer Field Office, to delve into the importance of this fight against cheatgrass and how it is helping protect the landscape and wildlife, particularly the Mule Deer population. Cheatgrass, in particular, poses a significant challenge due to its aggressive nature. It has a propensity to impact large areas of land and disrupt native plant communities. Moreover, it is highly flammable and spreads wildfires with ease. Native plants struggle to recover as quickly as cheatgrass after a fire, leading to a dangerous cycle of more frequent fires and the eventual dominance of cheatgrass monocultures. The fight against cheatgrass in Wyoming is not just a battle against an invasive plant; it's a fight to protect the diverse landscapes, wildlife, and activities that make this state unique as well as Mule Deer habitat. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of organizations like the BLM and their partners, the landscape is receiving the attention it deserves, and the ongoing battle against cheatgrass offers a beacon of hope for Wyoming's wild things and wild places.

The lower chamber of Congress, recognized as the House of Representatives, recently gave a ruling in favor of its sixth appropriations bill. This legislation primarily aims at regulating finances for certain government branches that focus on environmental matters. A notable aspect of this decision is how it aims to withdraw funding from numerous initiatives that address climate change, initiatives that have been stapled as key priorities by the incumbent Biden administration. Known formally as the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2024, this sizable legislation commands over $25 billion. The funding is designed to support a plethora of conservation initiatives, as well as fuel federal agencies, such as the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The legislation also extends its influence to cultural sectors, providing monetary backing to national programs supporting the arts and humanities. The approval process for this significant legislation was no mean feat, with lawmakers dedicating more than twelve hours to the evaluation of amendments.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wise management and conservation of rangelands in the future will require knowledge from the hard-earned experience of those near retirement and the fresh and uninhibited ideas of young professionals. However, reaching across these generations of ideas and experiences can be challenging. This final plenary will be a thought-provoking discussion that highlights the value of combining well-lived experiences with youthful insight. Tim Murphey, retired rangeland and fire professional, will describe the concepts he has learned that will be valuable to plot a path into the future of rangeland management. Courtney Taylor, student and rancher, will highlight the insight that young professionals can bring to power innovation and engage the next generation of rangeland managers. Tracy Kupchenko will moderate this discussion based on her pivotal experiences in working with both youth and well-worn ranchers and rangeland managers. Courtney Taylor grew up on a cattle ranching operation near Warner, Alberta, Canada. Always ambitious and a self- starter, she was running her own profitable on-farm businesses including a small sheep flock and orphan calf operation by age 10. Through her family operation, she was introduced to the art of rangeland management, and then while attending the Southern Alberta Youth Range Days camp, she further explored the science behind beneficial management practices, potential careers, and opportunities associated with rangelands. Her first exposure to the Society for Range Management was through the High School Youth Forum, then again at the University level, participating in the student conclave and competitions like the Undergraduate Range Management Exam and Extemporaneous Speaking event. She is currently attending the University of Saskatchewan and continues to run several of her business initiatives including a small bull operation specializing in genetics that will sustain the extensive winter grazing and spring/summer calving utilized on the ranch. Needless to say, that as far back as she can remember, she has grown and continues to foster a deep respect for her animals and the land on which her family cattle ranch depends. Tim Murphy is recognized for his long and impactful career in rangeland and fire management. Tim completed a bachelor's degree in rangeland management from the University of Wyoming and after graduation Tim began a 39-year career in rangeland and natural resources management. Tim's career began as a range technician with the Bridger-Teton National Forest and shortly thereafter he joined the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at the Green River Resource Area managing public rangelands in southwest Wyoming, followed by supervising a range, wild horse, and soils team at BLM's Caliente Resource Area, Nevada. Tim went on to management positions with BLM in New Mexico at the Carlsbad and then Las Cruces Resource Areas followed by a District Manager assignment at Miles City, Montana. Throughout his assignments Tim was active in wildland fire management as a firefighter and was called upon to inform national policy through the results of his leadership involving fatality and serious accident investigation teams. Tim went on to Boise, Idaho as the Director of Fire and Aviation at the National Interagency Fire Center followed by becoming the BLM Idaho State Director. After retiring from the BLM, he has remained active in promoting wise land management that supports local economies and healthy landscapes.

The Browns Canyon National Monument was designated for federal protection in 2015 and encompasses more than 21,000 acres of scenic and diverse natural resources along the upper Arkansas River in Colorado. It was the culmination of decades of advocacy from local residents to protect the pristine lands. However, federal designation was only the first step in protecting these pristine lands. In 2019, Keystone Policy Center and a coalition of over 20 local citizens representing numerous organizations with diverse interests and experience, conducted a series of meetings to discuss a shared set of recommendations for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) for resource management plan for the monument. The effort became a shining example of how collaborative action at the local level and between communities and federal agencies can give citizens a strong voice in shaping federal policy.Show NotesFriends of Browns CanyonBrowns Canyon National Monument - Keystone Policy CenterBrowns Canyon National Monument - U.S. Forest ServicePlease help us continue this podcast by making a financial donation to Keystone Policy Center.Listen to previous episodes of this podcast at Keystone's website or by subscribing to it through any podcast provider.

TAKE ACTION TO SAVE LABYRINTH CANYON: Leave a comment by 10/7!⁠The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is accepting comments on a draft travel management plan for the iconic Labyrinth Canyon and Gemini Bridges area outside of Moab. The plan will determine where off-road vehicle (ORV) use is allowed in this remarkable landscape for decades to come, so public input is extremely important. ⁠⁠Home to irreplaceable cultural and historic resources, critical wildlife habitat, and unmatched quiet recreational opportunities, the Labyrinth Canyon and Gemini Bridges region is a magnificent area of Utah's backcountry. The BLM's travel plan will have a long-lasting impact on the future of this region by determining where ORVs will be able to travel and what areas will be managed for the protection of wildlife, solitude, cultural values and non-motorized recreation.⁠⁠Labyrinth Canyon is a gem of the American West, where the placid Green River flows for more than 40 miles past towering canyon walls. This stretch of river provides an unparalleled multi-day wilderness experience for boaters of all ages and experience levels. It is also a designated Wild and Scenic River, noted for its outstanding recreational, scenic, ecological, and cultural values. ⁠You can act now by leaving a comment with the BLM by October 7th. It only takes minutes and your voice truly matters on these issues. Head to suwa.org/travelplans where we've made it easy to get started, and thank you for taking action.

The guidance has some great elements in line with IMBA's recommendations: it requires a local public process to adequately collect local sentiment on possible pros and cons of eMTB access; thorough National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Travel Management Planning; the guidance distinguishes between class 1, class 2 and class 3 eMTBs to ensure quality experiences for all trail users; and the guidance manages eMTBs as a new category, separate from traditional mountain bikes.

April 25, 2022 — PG&E is now operating the Potter Valley Project under an annual license, after a mystery applicant was turned down cold. And forest health enthusiasts gathered at a Buddhist monastery in Leggett over the weekend to strategize how to build fire resilience using grant funding and local labor. On Thursday, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission granted PG&E a license to operate the project until next April, writing that the Federal Power Act does require the Commission to issue an annual license to the current licensee, “under the terms and conditions of the prior license until a new license is issued, or the project is otherwise disposed of…” The brief notice concluded that “PG&E is authorized to continue operation of the Potter Valley Project, until such time as the Commission orders disposition of the project.” On Friday, the Commission informed Antonio Manfredini, who had applied for the license on behalf of a business called PVP 77, that it was rejecting his application because it was late; he had not done any of the initial consultations or studies that were required; and the “application patently fails to conform to the requirements of the Commission's regulations.” The applicant has 30 days to request a rehearing. UPDATE: Manfredini filed an appeal on Monday morning, arguing that “The License Application submitted continues the process initiated by PG&E (P-77-285) on 4/62017 and continues the process initiated by The NOI Parties (P-77-298) on 6/28/2019.” The appeal refers to PG&E and the NOI parties as “Proxy.” A coalition that included The Mendocino County Inland Water and Power Commission, Sonoma County Water Agency, California Trout, and the County of Humboldt, notified FERC in June of 2018 that it was calling itself the Notice of Intent (NOI) Party, and that it intended to file for the license to the Potter Valley Project. Environmental groups are expecting a further order from FERC to surrender and decommission the project, though very little information is available about what that means exactly or how long it will take. Clifford Paulin, who is legal counsel for the Potter Valley Irrigation District, was not surprised that FERC granted PG&E the annual license. For him, the remaining uncertainty lies in the big-picture conditions of the drought, as well as details about the pikeminnow reduction program and how additional conditions to the license, if any, will be implemented. Paulin said that, while the irrigation district's contract with PG&E entitles it to 50 cubic feet per second, the district's directors acceded to PG&E's request to stay on a demand-based system, only asking for the amount the district can sell to its customers. This is calculated in part to protect the infrastructure at Lake Pillsbury and Scott Dam in Lake County. It also means that the only additional water going into the Russian River and Lake Mendocino from the Eel River will be the minimum instream flows required by the National Marine Fisheries Service to protect salmonids in the Russian River. Paulin thinks the wild card application may have been part of what caused the delay in FERC's announcement about the annual license, but said he didn't “see Manfredini being much of a factor' otherwise. Curtis Knight, the Executive Director of the environmental organization California Trout, described the granting of the annual license as “a big step,” which “everyone knew was coming…the only weird note was Manfredini.” CalTrout is one of the parties that was working with Russian River water users to apply for the license, but was unable to raise enough money to pay for the studies. Now it's signed on to a notice to sue PG&E under the Endangered Species Act, claiming that the fish ladder at Cape Horn Dam causes unauthorized take. Still, Knight expects that the Manfredini “distraction won't amount to much;” and is looking forward to a timeline for the surrender of the project. He hasn't given up on working with Russian River water users, but said “It may have to get a little messy first,” before FERC defines the process of decommissioning the project. In the north county, two environmental organizations gathered at the Rangjung Yeshe Gomde Tibetan Buddhist Monastery in Leggett to brainstorm plans to resist the ravages of climate change and further the vitality of the Eel River through forest management. The Northern Mendocino Ecosystem Recovery Alliance has joined with the Eel River Recovery Project to push for a major shift in preparing for fire and bringing it back to the landscape. Eli Rider, of the Leggett Valley Volunteer Fire Department, and Will Emerson, of the Bell Springs Fire Department in Laytonville, are inspired by a $4.9 million grant from CalFire to carve a fuel break into Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands in the Red Mountain wilderness, off of Bell Springs road. The grant is being administered by the Mendocino County Resource Conservation District. In addition to a proviso that would keep the use of heavy equipment to a minimum, Rider says one of the requirements for keeping carbon down is hiring local people. “There's a large grant in the Red Mountain area and the Usal forest to create shaded fuel breaks,” he said during a pause in Saturday's activities. “They have written into the grant a triple bottom line, which is trying to lower the carbon footprint of the project. Having a local workforce will accomplish that by not having to truck a bunch of equipment in from far away…we are in the process of a workforce development program to train and hire local workers.” Emerson hopes the project will expand from what Rider explained was the most obvious place to start. Work on phase one of the project is expected to be performed over the next three years, with planning for phase two scheduled to start next year. “We're hoping that fuel break will continue over to Bell Springs Road, and then hook in with other projects up and down Bell Springs Road, so we establish some really good fire breaks around our communities and through them, so that we could stop a larger fire that might come through,” Emerson said. Rider added that Red Mountain was a logical place to start because BLM biologists and staff from the Redwood Forest Foundation Inc. had already conducted the biological assessments and archaeological reviews that were needed before work could begin. “It was ready to be implemented,” he concluded. Pat Higgins, the Executive Director of the Eel River Recovery Project, is a fish guy who's been pushing for forest health as key to revitalizing the river for years. He sees enormous potential for the new approach — if it's done right. “It'll be a huge undertaking, to restore forest health in the traditional Indian sense of harmony on the landscape,” he predicted. “And once that happens, you have to use control burns, and you have to stay on it. We're looking, actually, not just for economic opportunity, but a change in perspective, a commitment to stewardship. And this could happen in a way that is economically viable — depending on how we organize.”

Jason and Alyssa talk about some of the basic aspects of adopting a previously wild mustang in America. The process is managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) with help from the Mustang Heritage Foundation (MHF). In addition to some of the adoption basics, Alyssa and Jason talk about what they've learned after adopting their TIP-trained mustang mare, Willow. If you work for BLM, MHF or otherwise have information you'd like to share, please reach out to us at podcast@reinforcethehorse.com - we'd love to have you as a guest on our show.Music provided by Justin Tamminga

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is a leader in the nation’s wildland fire management. BLM Fire carries out a broad range of actions to protect the public, natural landscapes, wildlife habitat, recreational areas, and other values and resources. The national BLM Fire program focuses on public safety as its top priority, and consists of fire suppression, preparedness, predictive services, vegetative fuels management, prescribed fire, community assistance and protection, and fire prevention through education. To meet its wildland fire-related challenges, the BLM employs highly trained professional firefighters and managers who are committed to managing wildfire on our public lands. The BLM Fire program is headquartered at the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) in Boise, Idaho, where it works with seven other federal agencies to manage wildland fire, primarily in the western United States. Wildfire Matters takes you behind the scenes to talk with the people who strive to manage the landscape, protect our precious natural resources, and keep our communities safe as we continue to learn how to live with wildfire. #WeAreBLMFire To learn more about NIFC or the BLM, please visit our website: www.nifc.gov.

What happens when new land protections and wilderness are designated? While every land management journey is different, one thing's for sure: the devil's in the details.⁠⁠The latest episode of Wild Utah looks at this process through 663,000 acres of land recently designated as wilderness through the 2019 John D. Dingell Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act, Congress passed the Emery County Public Land Management Act. Among other things, this act created 17 new wilderness areas, the San Rafael Swell Recreation Area, and three Wild and Scenic segments on the Green River. ⁠⁠As a result of these new designations, there are a lot of details to consider. And because the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) must update its management plan for each of the affected areas-- which includes input from the public-- it's a process that will take well over a year to complete. ⁠⁠So, what's the importance of this process? What do we want to see happen in following through with these new wilderness protections? And when and how do we contact the BLM about all of this to make our voices heard? SUWA Wildlands Attorney Judi Brawer joins us in this highly informative episode that we can all look to as a guide.⁠⁠Take Action After this Episode:Sign up to receive action alerts from SUWA so you can participate in the next phase of the commenting process!Thank you to our show supporters!Wild Utah is made possible by the contributing members of SUWA.

On this episode of “Death in The Garden”, we interview biophilic author and attorney, Will Falk. Will began his career as a public defender and eventually transitioned to environmental law and activism, participating direct action encampments at the Wet'suwet'en Nation in Canada and Mauna Kea, protecting the sacred lands from pipelines and a telescope respectively. Recently, Will has been working with the People of Red Mountain, the coalition of indigenous peoples from the Duck Valley and Fort McDermitt reservations, to fight against the lithium claims in Thacker Pass, or Peehee Mu'huh, “Rotten Moon”, which is a massacre site of Paiute people. In this episode, Will explains the details of his case against Lithium Nevada and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the ecological and cultural devastation that will occur if this mine is given clearance to be created, the challenges of being attacked by both environmentalists and capitalists, the importance of direct action, the problem of civilization, a phenomenon called “shifting baseline syndrome”, and we end by discussing the true costs of defending the Earth, and the price we may have to be willing to pay. Find Will on Twitter, Instagram, and at his website. Read his book, How Dams Fall. And please, if you can, support the efforts at Thacker Pass.

The Riverside County Habitat Conservation Agency (RCHCA) works to maintain and restore habitat for the endangered Stephens' Kangaroo Rat.  Many of the efforts undertaken by RCHCA over the past 25 years would not be possible if not for the partnerships formed with agencies like the Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). More specifically, the BLM's Threatened and Endangered Species Program leads the conservation and recovery of federally listed species and has worked closely with RCHCA over the years.   On this episode of the COGCast, we are joined by James Gannon, BLM's Fuels Program Manager for the California Desert Interagency Fire Program.    This episode is released as a part of RCHCA's programming for Conservation Month.

Cattle Grazing on Public Lands and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Driving through Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada this week, Hartglass and De Mattei saw the endless miles of cattle grazing on public lands. It prompted their decision to air the IT’S ALL ABOUT FOOD 2009 interview with Mike Hudak regarding cattle grazing on public lands. A current update on the Bureau of Land Management is given before the interview.   Mike Hudak is an environmental advocate, author, public speaker, photographer. He is the author of Western Turf Wars, the book you need to understand how governmental mismanagement of ranching is destroying America’s public lands with your tax dollars.

As we wind down Women’s History Month for 2021, it is fitting that our final guest for this special month is exceptional in her own right. NSPS appreciates our longstanding partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), so it is our pleasure to have Dominica VanKoten, Chief Cadastral Surveyor for the BLM. Prior to her current position, she led the Eastern States Office for BLM from 2008 to 2019. Dominica recently connected with Tim Burch to discuss how being interested in drafting and math in high school introduced her to surveying, her career path with the BLM, and current duties as Chief Cadastral Surveyor. She shared insights on many of the Bureau’s responsibilities and how important the Public Land Survey System is to the public. NSPS and “Surveyor Says!” The NSPS Podcast would like to tip our cap to all women in the surveying and geomatics industry for a job well done. We appreciate your efforts and look forward to growing the profession with you. Thanks for listening!

Today I’m sharing my conversation with Max Wilbert, one of the activists occupying Thacker Pass, Nevada, up in the northern-central part of the state, to protest a proposed lithium mine there. He and his fellow protesters have been camping on this land, currently governed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), in winter conditions at about 5,100 feet elevation, so it’s cold and snowy. But the beauty of the pass and their belief in the cause sustains them, though their numbers are few. When you visit the website, ProtectThackerPass.org, and I hope you do, you will find some of the most beautiful writing and personal expression about a place you could find anywhere. Thacker Pass is habitat for Crosby’s buckwheat (a rare desert wildflower only found in this area), King River pyrg (a critically endangered snail), rabbitbrush, jackrabbits, bighorn sheep, coyotes, golden eagles, greater sage-grouse, pronghorn antelope, and old growth sagebrush.  Max joined me the afternoon of February 4th from the side of the mountain where, incredibly, there was cell service from a small town miles away. But I’m glad there was, because the importance of what he had to say can’t be overstated. Many of us have been dreaming of transitioning away from fossil fuels not only because their burning has a devastating effect on the climate, but also because fossil fuel extraction practices are wholly destructive to those parts of the world where they take place, and therefore to the many life forms that call these places home. The prospect of clean, green energy has been so appealing that maybe we have been blinded to the high cost to the earth. The realities of wind and solar, as hyped as they are now, and as seemingly mainstream they are becoming, are not without their damaging environmental effects. But make no mistake - lithium mining is not unlike coal or gold or other mineral mining in its destructive power - this is a strip mine we’re talking about. It will involve Lithium is essential for battery production for electric energy storage, that means solar batteries, electric vehicle batteries, and all the batteries that will store all the electricity produced by variable energy sources such as solar and wind. The electric car industry will be one of the largest consumers of large batteries capable of propelling heavy vehicles long distances. And we do love to drive. The idea that we can just shift our consumption of energy from fossil fuels to solar and wind without serious implications for the health of our planet is just false. It’s like the story with fracked or “natural” gas: there are less carbon emissions when its burned, but the cost to our water, air, and land and all the species, including human, that live where fracking occurs, pay the price through polluted water and methane emissions that they drink, eat and breathe, and there’s the sand that’s scraped from the bottom of our rivers for fracking rigs, the billions of gallons of water trucked in, and all the rest of it. In short, haven’t we done enough damage? can we please drive less, buy less, eat less, and consume less of everything? And for goodness sake, turn off your spotlights at night. No one’s coming for you, especially not bears! They have far more important things to do. But back to Thacker Pass. Thank you to Max and all the activists out there and those supporting their efforts for bringing attention to this important topic.

Did you know that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administers over 245 million surface acres and over 700 million acres of federal minerals in the United States? The interesting thing is that private mineral rights can be pooled with federal or state mineral rights when spacing units are formed.  Learn how you can find out if this might apply to you and when you might have to notify the BLM of any assignment or transfer of interests. As always, show notes at mineralrightspodcast.com where you'll find links to resources mentioned in the show.

Amanda Allred is a professional licensed land surveyor in six Western states, and she joins us today to talk about the educational and career journey that got her to where she is today. Amanda has owned and operated her own surveying firm and is the district land surveyor for the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in the Walla Walla District, where she oversees all land surveying activities for the development of water resources projects on the Colombia and Snake rivers. She has also worked for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Alaska and New Mexico and is the vice president of the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS), having also served in the past as the president and director of her state NSPS. Additionally, she has served on the national executive board of directors and as the chair of the NSPS Western States Director’s Council. In this episode, she describes the lack of awareness about the benefits of a career in land surveying, emphasizing the financial advantages as well as the perks of being outdoors and traveling all over the world, should it be something that appeals to you. After giving listeners a sense of what the tasks and responsibilities of a land surveyor involve, our guest gets into the important role of mentorship, the need for greater diversity in the industry, and the relationship between niching down and being happy with what you do.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Eine erfolgreiche Energiewende setzt vor allem eine Versorgungssicherheit, Umweltverträglichkeit und Bezahlbarkeit voraus. Daher bedarf es alternative Optionen zu den derzeit noch eingesetzten fossilen Energieträgern. Die Erneuerbaren Energien stellen dabei eine solche Alternative dar, sind jedoch u.a. abhängig von Umwelt- bzw. Witterungsbedingungen. Christopher Schmerbeck erklärt, warum Wasserstoff einen zentralen Beitrag zur Überwindung dieses Problems leisten kann und welche weiteren Potenziale bestehen.   8:58 - § 36 Abs. 1 S. 1 und 2 GasNZV "Der Einspeiser von Biogas hat ausschließlich sicherzustellen, dass das Gas am Einspeisepunkt und während der Einspeisung den Voraussetzungen der Arbeitsblätter G 260 und G 262 des Deutschen Vereins des Gas- und Wasserfachs e.

In a wide-ranging speech just days before Independence Day, Charlie contends that President Trump is the last best hope for America and freedom. He also offers his take on everything from Brock Turner to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), not to be confused with the Marxist, radical, racial separatist group BLM Inc., as he drives home the need for America to protect its treasured history. Finally, he offers an important and thoughtful defense of America's Judeo-Christian roots and calls for American churches to step up and fight back.

Elise’s guest today is Sonya Spaziani, also known as “Mustang Meg.” She is a mustang and wild burro advocate who is renowned for her work to educate the public on the status of these animals in the American West.   Currently, 75,000 wild horses and burros are caught in political, emotional, and environmental controversy. Another 45,000 are held in government holding pens, costing the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) nearly $50 million annually. It is estimated that there are more wild horses in captivity now than exist in the wild — with more round-ups scheduled regularly. Wild horse advocacy has become one of the largest grassroots efforts in U.S. history — a touchpoint for horse enthusiasts, conservationists, ranchers, and even politicians.   In the midst of this volatility, Mustang Meg is respected not only for her expertise but also for her willingness to partner, as a steadfast advocate, with all sides on behalf of the horses she so devotedly works to protect.   In this episode, Elise and Sonya discuss sustainable solutions for managing and taking care of wild horses, the status of fertility control, land management and herd management, how to help horses in long-term holding facilities, and Sonya’s predictions and hopes for the future of wild mustangs and burros.   Topics of Discussion: [:45] About Elise’s guest today. [1:41] What should people know about wild mustangs? [4:23] Some stories of the special horses Sonya has witnessed from her research out on the field. [10:31] What keeps Sonya going through the rough conditions she endures for field research and photos. [13:51] The measure of success wild horse advocates, ranchers, Oregon BLM representatives have accumulated in behalf of mustangs. [17:40] How does Sonya think we find a common place from which to have a reasonable dialogue and does she think there’s a sustainable solution that everyone can accept? [21:37] Reading listener feedback! [23:29] The status of fertility control and why wild horses cannot always be darted with PZP (birth control). [28:37] Is there a reason why gelding stallions has not been brought to the conversations of fertility control? [32:20] Does Sonya foresee a point in time where we might not have wild horses left because of all of the increase in horses being held in government holding pens? [33:45] All about the complicated issues that come with land management and herd management. [40:53] Is the BLM the primary resource for determining the status of the mustang’s well-being? To what degree do advocates partner with them to ensure this? [42:52] What can we do to help horses in the long-term holding facilities? Is there a plan going forward? [49:28] Rachel’s insight into ranchers, corporations, and grazing on public land. [53:58] A preview of next week’s Because of Horses.

James Corey’s career initially began as a staff accountant after graduating from college. After working in the accounting field for about two years, he quickly realized his dream was not crunching numbers and decided to pivot his career to a more exciting - and dangerous - role as a forest firefighter with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). After fighting fires for a number of years, he decided to pivot his career again to become a staff insurance adjuster with the American Modern Insurance Group. James joins me on today’s show to share his experience as an accountant and forest fighter, why he decided to work as a staff adjuster, and how one phone call enabled him to begin his new career journey despite not knowing anyone within the adjusting industry. He shares how his experiences and skills in his previous careers have helped him transition to his new role as an insurance adjuster and how this transition has impacted his life. He also shares how the company trained and prepared him to work in the field, the support he receives from the company as well as his fellow staff adjusters, and the tools he uses while adjusting claims.   “A big thing you learn - whether it’s in accounting, firefighting, or oil fields - is the ability to adapt to different situations. And with claims - every claim is different.” - James Corey   Resources: Symbility Property Solutions     Enroll Today for the Royal Adjusting Services Academy!

Greg Nutt posted a photo: The General Patton Memorial Museum was built to inspire such reverence through exposure and education. Quality of life for each visitor is directly tied to the health of this nation and we strive to ensure each visitor leaves the museum with a renewed understanding of that. We are committed to providing a place to learn about preserving the past and ensuring the lessons it teaches us are carried to future generations. The name General Patton was selected because he had actually handpicked the site and was the first commander of the DTC with Camp Young as the headquarters for the Desert Training Center, eventually training over a million men to go into the WWII effort. This became the world’s largest military installation both in size and population stretching from Arizona to Nevada to California. Leslie continues to work for the BLM and resides now in Colorado, and Margit lives at Chiriaco Summit and continues to serve as an active supporter of the museum. The first year was spent creating a 501(c)3 and forming an MOU with Bureau of Land Management which continues today. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) had a mobile home that became the first office and repository for information and artifacts. Senator Presley helped the Museum to obtain the old Coachella DMV office which was moved to the site at Chiriaco Summit. The land was donated by Joseph L. Chiriaco and Ruth E. Chiriaco, pioneers of the area. In 1986 five more modules were purchased creating a 7000-square foot area to serve as the museum building. Construction began in earnest in 1987 with a solid team of retirees from SCE headed by Jerry Rusche. This group of men worked long and hard creating the interior spaces of the museum, cleaning up and modifying the spaces, installing new electrical, refrigeration, heating and everything else that went into the interior space, as well as overseeing the exterior plastering of the building. The rock was donated by the Whitewater Rock and the Sea Bees were the volunteers, who installed the rock walls one summer.

The rock was donated by the Whitewater Rock and the Sea Bees were the volunteers, who installed the rock walls one summer. The foundations were constructed and donated by Modern Alloy. The firm of Krieger and Stewart donated the engineering for the facility, and Joe Aklufi did the legal work. Corky Larson, Riverside County Supervisor also played an important role in the project. The first really professional exhibit was the MWD topographical map – the map shows the vast regions of Southern California where the massive aqueduct was installed bringing the much needed water to Los Angeles. The availability of water to the DTC is the main reason that Patton selected the area for the DTC and placed the camps accordingly. This is aside from the fact that this desert area so mimicked the areas of North Africa and he could train the men in these harsh conditions preparing them for their eventual service in the war. During the building process, personalized engraved bricks were sold to finance parts of the project that just could not be donated. Today there is a large wall area covered with bricks, both large and small, which are still being sold and installed. Over time, the building was beginning to look more like the General Patton Memorial Museum. This transformation took many hours of volunteer service. The Museum was ready to open on November 11,1988 at 11 in the morning, coincidentally Patton’s one-hundredth birthday.

“Our wilderness areas and our national parks we all know as the places where we have those iconic outdoor recreation experiences.” - John Sterling   John Sterling, the executive director of The Conservation Alliance, joins us to discuss the dangers our federally managed lands face today. John Sterling served as a board member of the Conservation Alliance, at Patagonia in the late 90’s for 7 years. From there, he left to find a way to fund a full time staff position at the Conservation Alliance, which eventually came together in 2005 due to a partnership with Keen Footwear. John helped put together a process for laying out an economic rationale for preserving public alliance in wild places, which got business leaders to go out to Washington D.C and lobby for wilderness bills.   Bulletpoints   There are members of Congress on the Republican side that don't believe in climate change and are openly hostile to conservation The study that OIA (Outdoor Industry Association is now the foundation of the conversation about the value of lands–the value of outdoor recreation for our economy One of the biggest concerns is that you do have members of Congress whose ideas are very well thought out in total contradiction to our values and what we want to accomplish on public lands We need to ensure that members of Congress that do want to give away federal lands to the states or back out of climate change deals, don't have their way Many people take our public lands for granted The federal government manages on our behalf, millions of acres of land under the BLM (Bureau of Land Management), the foresters, the park service, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service It's an official plank in 2016 Republican party platform to transfer federal lands to the states There is value in having all of our federal lands managed by one entity - That's how you can ensure that there's consistency in management States cannot run budget deficits - If there is a forest fire in Oregon, and they have to fund putting that fire out, it would bankrupt the state almost overnight Polling usually shows somewhere in the mid 70s for: "Yes, we need to preserve this public land system" We are at a political moment where if you care about your public lands, you have to get engaged in the effort to ensure that that system stays intact   Links   The Conservation Alliance:ConservationAlliance.com Outdoor Alliance Protectourpublicland.org Bureau of Land Management: BLM.gov Outdoor Industry Association: OutdoorIndustry.com
