AMERICA 250 - KEEPING AMERICA'S PUBLIC LANDS OPEN

Pass on the stewardship and responsibility

Freedom Requires Responsibility, Stewardship, Participation, Leadership, and Passing It On.

“Freedom isn’t something we simply enjoy; it’s something we help preserve.”

By Del Albright

As I sat down to write Part II of this America 250 series, I found myself reflecting on something I’ve learned over the years. Whether I was wearing an Army uniform, working as a wildland firefighter, serving as a fire chief, or spending countless hours fighting to keep public lands open, one lesson has remained remarkably consistent. WE own this freedom and WE have to preserve it.

250 YEARS OF FREEDOM, ACCESS, AND THE AMERICAN TRADITION

Our land; our legacy; and our future

Part 1: What America Looks Like Out Here – Freedom, Access, & The American Tradition
