Theodore Roosevelt and the National Park System

Following his epic 2026 Airstream journey to Theodore Roosevelt's conservation properties all over the American West, Clay Jenkinson will assess TR's remarkable achievement, with a particular emphasis on his five National Parks (one in North Dakota, but not TR National Park!) and his eighteen National Monuments, beginning with Devils Tower. No President did as much. Clay will also discuss the current threat to the public lands from those (including the Interior Department) who wish to privatize parts of the public domain, reduce or eliminate some National Monuments, and permit greater resource extraction. Plus, as his journey indicated, we are loving many of our National Parks to death.
