Join Caroline Gleich and Congressman Gabe Vasquez for a special episode announcing the formation of the Public Lands Caucus, a new bipartisan coalition in Congress committed to protecting America's public lands. From national parks to backcountry trails, these cherished places are where we hike, hunt, fish, camp, and connect with nature—and they’re under threat.

In this episode, we dive into:

Why this new caucus matters for the future of outdoor access and conservation.

What’s at stake for public lands across the country.

How you can get involved in safeguarding the wild spaces we all love.

Led by Reps. Gabe Vasquez (D-NM) and Ryan Zinke (R-MT), this initiative brings together lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to ensure that our public lands remain "for the benefit and enjoyment of the people." Don’t miss this important conversation about the future of our shared outdoor heritage.
