East to West Hunting Podcast Episode 19 – Public Lands Advocacy with Andy Kerr

This week, we have the pleasure of speaking with long-time Oregon-based conservationist and public lands strategist Andy Kerr, Czar of the Larch Company, who has been at the forefront of the public lands debate for over four decades. Andy is a public lands strategist who has been involved with creating over 47 wilderness areas during his career, and he shares his perspective on current public lands issues and how to get things done as a conservationist. We talk about the origins of eastern public lands, public land management, sage grouse, LWCF, the role of forestry on public lands, how to operate in today’s environment as a conservationist, and more. Andy has some great advice for the next generation of conservationists – thanks for giving it a listen!
