The article discusses the detrimental impact of the Trump administration's policies on national parks, forests, and rangelands in the Western U.S. It highlights the freezing of funds for conservation projects and the cancellation of news subscriptions for public agencies, which hampers their work. Despite the backlash, many Westerners, including Trump supporters, value conservation and climate action. The article also calls for support for High Country News (HCN) during their spring fund drive and emphasizes HCN's commitment to serving the community, including those affected by job losses.
This administration has ordered public agencies to cancel their subscriptions to news organizations like HCN, depriving staffers of information that is often valuable to the work they do.
Say what you will about the federal government, all this runs counter to what Westerners hold dear; a majority support conservation and climate action.
As we kick off our spring fund drive, if you're in a position to double down on your support for HCN's journalism, we ask you to consider doing so.
We're here for you, our community, just as you've been here for us for a remarkable 55 years.
