Happy Earth Day! In Wyoming, we know the real environmentalists are the ones working the land to preserve it for future generations. We are ranchers who have successfully worked the same land over the decades, just as our families have done for over a century. We are hunters managing for healthy wildlife populations year after year. We are the loggers who know how to provide for a healthy forest and healthy local economy. We are the weed and pest professionals fighting invasive species.
We know none of this happens from behind a desk or in a courtroom. We know that treating the environment as if it some sort of museum or holy site is a recipe for disaster. Ultimately, we know it is possible for humans to thrive alongside and in partnership with the natural world, not in competition with it.
