Our public lands are in trouble, big trouble

This fall, this November 3rd in the U.S., there is much more at stake than simply who will reside in the White House in Washington for the next four years.  It is about the soul of the nation, about the future of public lands, wild and beautiful landscapes, our lands.  A new film by Patagonia Films premiers on the 25th of September, 2020, @ 5 pm PDT on YouTube.  With Executive Producers Robert Redford and Yvon Chouinard, Public Trust. The Fight for America's Public Lands, presents an authentic, factual and passionate plea for the protection of public lands.  The film considers three environmental conflicts, including the proposed mine in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wildness (BWCA) in Northern Minnesota, a very special place.  I have been of fan of public lands in the U.S., including the BWCA, for many, many years, having visited at least 22 national parks, at least 53 national forests, plus countless other protected areas, including national seashores and lakeshores, state parks and recreation areas, anywhere where I could camp, explore, and experience the natural world.  So please watch and support the fight to protect public lands.  These are special landscapes, and they are at risk, under extreme threat and we must act now.  If we do not, then in the blink of eye, they will be gone.
