The president’s decision to eliminate protections for millions of acres of public land is the largest rollback in the nation’s history, so there is much more work to be done. Monumental Decisions will discuss where we’ve been and where we go from here. Join OIA Government Affairs Manager Jessica Wahl for a timely and powerful discussion. Participants include companies who have been engaged on the issue (Patagonia, REI, TNF, KEEN), lawsuit experts, and Backcountry Hunters & Anglers.
