If your outdoor adventures take you across public lands, and I’m willing to bet they do, then Mark Kenyon’s first and immediately impactful book is a must-read. It’s convenient to pretend that our national parks, forests, monuments, and wilderness areas are preserved in perpetuity, but that simply isn’t true. Kenyon outlines how our public lands came to be, why they matter, and how we can ensure they don’t disappear. No matter which side of the aisle you favor, every public landowner (yes, that’s you) should be aware of the issues Kenyon brings to light.
