Podcasts about national forests

Angela joins me for the first two hours frustrated at triple fee increases proposed to get into “your national forest”. Land pirates rob and pillage in America, Congress continues its drunken spending ways, Hobbs vetoes 36 more bills but signs my “engineering standards” bill (thanks Senator Wendy Rogers). Olivia joins me in the third hour with comments including the benefits of trade schools and Cormac shares the veto process in Ireland. We end with an issue over uranium transport and new inflation numbers show eggs are a little less expensive.

While hunting wild turkey in a remote National Forest in Virginia, a man stumbled upon a human corpse. The victim was 52-year-old Michael Kent Jamerson—but the true terror began only after his killer and supposed friend, Robert Gleason, was caught. Because for the state of Virginia, this murder was just the beginning of a far more disturbing plot… Written by Trevor Pason, edited and engineered by Scott Ecklein, and executive produced by Michael Ojibway.

In 1910, two trains became stranded in Washington's Cascade Mountains during a record-breaking snowstorm. After six harrowing nights, a massive avalanche swept them off the mountainside — the deadliest avalanche in U.S. history.

The Trump administration is pushing for more logging on public land, pledging to boost America’s domestic supply of wood products and increase wildfire resilience. In March, the President issued an executive order directing federal agencies to begin finding ways to expand timber production by 25% over the next few years. Last week, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins sent a memo establishing an “emergency situation determination” covering more than 112 million national forest acres. That includes five national forests in Washington state. Rollins identified these acres as having either high wildfire risk or declining forest health – allowing timber harvesting to be fast-tracked through environmental regulations. The USDA boasted the memo would “increase timber outputs, simplify permitting, remove National Environmental Policy Act processes” and “reduce implementation and contracting burdens.” Big picture, more than half of the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service is now opening for logging. Soundside spoke with Kristen Boyles from Earthjustice Northwest, Travis Joseph with the American Forest Resource Council, and Tom DeLuca from Oregon State University's College of Forestry to get their thoughts on the recent changes to federal forest management. Guests: Kristen Boyles, managing attorney for Earthjustice Northwest, a non-profit environmental law organization. Travis Joseph, president of the American Forest Resource Council, a trade association representing those who work with public timber in the Western United States. Thomas DeLuca, dean of the College of Forestry at Oregon State University. Related links: Trump proposed cutting the Northwest’s national forests.

Clay's interview with Walt Dabney, who worked for over 30 years in the National Park System, including serving as America's Chief Ranger for five and a half years in Washington, D.C. Mr. Dabney is lecturing around the country about the threat to public lands from those who would return them to the states or privatize them altogether. Mr. Dabney refutes three myths about public lands: first, that the U.S. Government has no right to own property; second, that the U.S. Government retains public domain for nefarious reasons; and third, that individual states were promised at the time of their statehood that public land would be deeded over to them. All demonstrably untrue, says Walt Dabney. Although he's worried about current moves to reduce the size of National Monuments and allow greater resource extraction on public lands, Mr. Dabney believes the public will rally to protect and preserve one of the best things about America: our National Parks, National Monuments, game preserves, wildlife refuges, and National Forests. This interview was recorded March 19, 2025.

This week's public lands update covers developments from April 3 through April 11, with a quick rewind to catch a few major stories we missed last week (because hey, I'm just a girl, and the news cycle waits for no one)Topics Covered This Week:On April 3rd, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins issued a memo that designates 112 million acres of National Forest lands as part of an “emergency” Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum quietly issued Order No. 3426, requiring all national park closures or service changes to be approved by political leadership in D.C. (even those made for urgent safety reasons.)One day after the order, National Park Service employees received another “Fork in the Road” buyout offer, asking staff to resign by midnight on April 9.During the Senate's budget reconciliation vote-a-rama on April 6, a proposed amendment to ban the sale of public lands failed, 48 to 51. On April 10, the House passed the reconciliation in a 216 - 214 vote.On April 8th, the Department of the Interior announced that the Colosseum Mine in California can resume mining operations under its existing Bureau of Land Management-approved plan. On April 8, 2025, the Interior Department also revealed a set of actions to revitalize the coal industry, emphasizing coal as a cornerstone of American energy dominance.The next day on April 9th, the Department of the Interior announced more than $13 million in grants aimed at revitalizing coal country by reclaiming abandoned mine lands in North Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas.On April 9th, over 60 outdoor industry companies have come together under a new coalition, Brands for Public Lands, to fight the increasing threats facing America's wild landscapes. Two major announcements dropped on April 10th from the Department of the Interior that together mark a sharp acceleration in fossil fuel development.Phase 2 of the Agency Reorganization and Reduction Plan is due April 14, and more federal layoffs and budget cuts could follow.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One —  The death toll has risen to at least 19 as a result of severe weather across the nation's midsection.  More heavy rain is expected across the region as the storm threat shifts to the southern Mid-Atlantic and Southeast into Monday.  Forecasters say temperatures will drop behind the storm system with freeze alerts in effect tonight for millions from Oklahoma City and Kansas City to St. Louis and Indianapolis.   Two ----   Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says the power of the U.S. needs to be reset.   Speaking on CBS' Face the Nation, Lutnick said the new global tariffs put in place by the Trump administration were to address a national security issue. He says it's a major problem things like medicine and semiconductors aren't made in America. Lutnick said the tariffs will stay in place as President Trump seeks to reset global trade.    And number three ---- Millions of acres of national forests, including a sizeable portion in Michigan, could be cleared for timber production in a bid to reduce wildfire risk. That's according to a new U.S. Department of Agriculture plan. The Department of Agriculture couldn't specify how many acres would be affected in Michigan. The state is home to about 2.9 million acres of national forest lands.

Youth Landscapers Collective (YLC) operate as a youth arts organisation based in the National Forest area of England. They describe themselves as “a collective of young people, artists and technicians who collaborate with our local community to explore this landscape's industrial past and forest future.” In the final episode of the current series of YLC Special Editions, Sophie Hope interviews Youth Landscapers' Producer Rebecca Lee along with members Alfie Ropson and Georgia Harris-Marsh, and board member Jo Wheeler. YLC reflect on their experiences of last year's song-making project, get into the nitty gritty around the youth-led structure of the organisation and discuss future plans.

The National Forests and federal wilderness areas that are often taken for granted today only exist because of the efforts of some dedicated conservationists and foresters with the foresight to realize that if these lands were not protected, they would be logged and developed into oblivion. To share the history of how U.S. public lands were rescued, joining me on the podcast this week is Jeffrey Ryan, a well-traveled hiker and the author of “This Land Was Saved for You and Me.” Podcast Links for Show notes Download my free eBook 5 Steps to Your Best Garden Ever - the 5 most important steps anyone can do to have a thriving garden or landscape.

Prepare to be spooked by these terrifying national forest encounters that will leave you speechless. From creepy creatures to unexplained phenomena, these horror stories are sure to give you chills!

England is to have a new National Forest. The Western Forest will be planted across Bristol, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Somerset. It's the first national forest in 30 years. The government is putting £7.5 million towards it, with the same amount expected from the private sector and charities. The aim is to plant 2,500 hectares of woodland by 2030 and more by 2050. The National Forest chief executive says it won't be created at the expense of farmland.Biosecurity at our borders is a big issue. As we've previously reported, port health authorities have warned that the post-Brexit checking system isn't working and illegal meat is being smuggled into the country. A member of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health's port health expert panel says there isn't enough money and the system is under pressure. A chemist and tomato grower have pooled their expertise to set up a cannabis farm in the English countryside. It's a high-tech £26 million greenhouse that is licensed by the Home Office to grow medicinal cannabis for the pharmaceutical industry, and its technology means it can harvest cannabis flowers 52 weeks of the year.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Rebecca Rooney

On Valentine's Day 4,400 Public Land workers were abruptly and illegally terminated from their positions and since then, news of executive orders geared to threaten and exploit our public lands for their natural resources have been flooding headlines. To better understand the gravity of this situation and to hear straight from those most directly effected we are joined by Yosemite and Devils Postpile Ranger Alex Wild, Liz Crandall a field ranger in Deschutes National Forest, and Morgan Smith a Biological Science Technician for the US Forest Service. All three were recently terminated from their jobs due to the recent federal budget cuts.

Put an expiration date on the Wolf Reintroduction in Colorado: https://www.smartwolfpolicyco.com/  Can you love wolves, and still seek to end the forced importation of wolves to CO? Yes. Can you be pro-livestock, and still acknowledge that wolves (living w/in wild ecosystems) can have a place on the landscape? Yes. Wolf "reintroduction" was a charismatic but fictional vision that compelled Colorado voters to narrowly choose to forcibly import wolves from 1000s of miles away. These wolves could not be relocated to Federal land, deep in the National Forests where you might expect. Instead, the relocations landed wolves (with a pre-existing record of preying on livestock) into habitat very close to the heart of Colorado's cattle rangelands. The result of this voter-approved experiment: social tension, tremendous cost overruns, and wolves, livestock and food producers being treated terribly.   How to help??  - Volunteer:  to get petition signatures in Colorado - https://www.smartwolfpolicyco.com/  - Join the HOWL Pack:  to help us extend and amplify educational messaging  - Stay informed: Colorado Advocates for Smart Wolf Policy - https://www.smartwolfpolicyco.com/  ***

During the deluge of Hurricane Helene, over 30 inches of rain fell in the headwaters of the iconic Nolichucky River in North Carolina, falling on ground already saturated from prior rain. The Nolichucky crested nine feet higher than its record flood levels, wiping out almost everything in its path. Although the river experienced scouring and erosion, it was the man-made infrastructure that fared the worst. Among the losses were almost 40 miles of railroad tracks owned by CSX Transportation. Everyone wants the train tracks rebuilt, and the vital freight transportation link restored. But nobody could have predicted that the rebuilding project, contracted out to a company from Mississippi, would involve recklessly mining the riverbed, blocking tributary creeks, tearing up National Forest lands, and destroying one of the most beloved fishing and whitewater rivers of the entire eastern U.S. None of this had to happen. Agencies tasked with permitting and watchdogging this operation seem to have failed entirely. The public's demands for the work to be done in a less destructive manner have been met with silence. Join Tennessee fishing guide and paramedic and BHA member Chris Lennon and North Carolinian Phillip Widener (Charman of BHA's North Carolina chapter) to learn about what's happening, and why it is so crucial, right now, to hold responsible parties accountable and stop this entirely avoidable assault on our public lands and waters. Intentional destruction of the Nolichucky River must stop!

In this video blog segment of Dropping Pins, Derek is scouting the National Forest in Northeastern Wisconsin for potential stand locations for next weekend's Firearms season opener.  Derek revisits some of his old honey holes, but things are different…VERY different! After a large straight-line wind storm hit the area about 8 years ago, logging crews have been busy clear-cutting most of the area. This has added plenty of browse and new food sources for the wildlife, but it definitely requires boots on the ground to locate the new best spots to intercept a buck during the high-pressure gun season.  Derek walks the viewer through the thought process of how and where he is scouting. We look at how deer relate to clear cuts and different terrain “traps” that help funnel deer into monotonous terrain.  In the end, we find a few promising spots, hang four cameras, and get one hang-one stand prepped for opening morning.

On January 4th, 2008, a clerk at a gas station in DeKalb County, Georgia watched a man vacuuming out his van. Just hours earlier, the clerk had seen that same man in news reports – he was identified as a person of interest in the disappearance of a woman from three days prior. This man was Gary Hilton, and while he was initially only a person of interest in the disappearance and murder of Meredith Emerson, he ended up being charged with 4 murders in total (and suspected of many more) and became known as the “National Forest Serial Killer” who killed Meredith Emerson, Cheryl Dunlap, and Irene and John Bryant in 2007 and 2008.
