In many respects our interaction with wilderness has shaped our nation and influenced the character of our citizens. Our remaining wildlands now provide important refuges for animal and plant species that were once common, but have not faired well with the rapid development of our nation. These wildlands also provide immense recreational opportunities and places where people can find refuge and tranquility from this troubled world. Despite the importance of America’s wildlands to the people of our nation, the remaining wildlands have never been mapped across ownerships throughout the United States in a consistent manner. -

A Vast Liquidation of Public Lands Is Underway in Alaska by Jenny Rowland-Shea, Sung Chung, Sally Hardin, Matt Lee-Ashley, and Kate Kelly September 10, 2019
A Vast Liquidation of Public Lands Is Underway in Alaska By Jenny Rowland-Shea, Sung Chung, Sally Hardin, Matt Lee-Ashley, and Kate Kelly September 10, 2019 The Trump administration is quietly leading one of the largest liquidations of America’s public lands since the late 19th century. If fully implemented, this effort could result in the transfer, sale, or private exploitation of more than 28.3 million acres of public lands in Alaska, including old-growth forests, subsistence hunt- ing areas for Alaska Native communities, habitats for polar bears, salmon spawn- ing streams, and other backcountry areas.1 It would affect millions of acres in the Tongass National Forest and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge alone. The work to liquidate national public lands is a shortsighted and inadequate response to the state of Alaska’s worsening budget crisis, a result of the state’s over- dependence on revenues from oil drilling. As the Alaska Oil and Gas Association notes on its website, “Alaska is the only state in the Union that is so dependent on one industry to fund its government services.”2 Since 1977, oil revenues have accounted for an average of 85 percent of the state’s annual budget. Recently, however, the production and profitability of Alaska oil fields have been in steep decline, causing the state’s collection of oil and gas production taxes to fall from nearly $6.9 billion in 2008 to $806 million in 2018.3 For the past eight years, Alaska’s elected officials have struggled to find the resources to pay for emergency responders, schools, and other basic services for residents.4 In fact, the state faced a budget deficit of $2.5 billion going into fiscal year 2019.5 This growing budget crisis is presenting Alaska with one of its most consequential choices since voting to become a state in 1958. -

Federal Judge Deals Another Setback to Oil, Natural Gas Development in Ohio National Forest
ttps://www.naturalgasintel.com/federal-judge-deals-another-setback-to-oil-natural-gas- development-in-ohio-national-forest/ Federal Judge Deals Another Setback to Oil, Natural Gas Development in Ohio National Forest BY JAMISON COCKLIN MARCH 11, 2021 A federal judge has halted oil and gas development in Ohio’s Wayne National Forest (WNF) after a ruling last year found the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) failed to adequately consider the impact of unconventional development when they opened the land for drilling. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio ordered the agencies to further review their authorizations under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Pending review, this week’s order blocks new leases in the WNF, prohibits new drilling permits and surface disturbance on existing leases, and prohibits water withdrawals from the Little Muskingum River. Judge Michael Watson said the USFS and BLM “demonstrated a disregard for the different types of impacts” caused by unconventional development in the forest. He added that “the agencies made decisions premised on a faulty foundation.” The court found last year that federal regulators specifically failed to consider surface area disturbance, impacts on the Indiana Bat, the Little Muskingum River and regional air quality related to horizontal wells completed with hydraulic fracturing. The decision was another flash point in a long-running battle over whether exploration and production companies should be allowed to operate in the WNF, the state’s only national forest. Last year’s decision threw the future of WNF leasing into doubt when the case proceeded to determine if lease sales should be voided. -

State and Local Control of Federal Lands: New Developments in the Transfer of Federal Lands Movement
State and Local Control of Federal Lands: New Developments in the Transfer of Federal Lands Movement By Martin Nie* and Patrick Kelly** Beginning in 2012, western state legislatures reinitiated old efforts to transfer federal lands into state ownership. What started in Utah with the Transfer of Public Lands Act quickly spread to every western state but California.1 The Transfer of Public Lands Act called for legislation to establish actions to secure, preserve, and protect the state’s rights and benefits in the event that the federal government failed to transfer public lands to Utah.2 But when other western states and their attorneys general conveyed skepticism about the legal arguments being made by Utah,3 the movement pivoted to the federal arena, with a focus on a Republican-controlled White House and Congress. The political strategy coalesced in 2017, when Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah introduced legislation that authorized the disposal of 3.3 million acres of federal land.4 The backlash to the “land seizure movement” was swift (e.g., #keepitpublic) and Chaffetz’s bill was widely condemned by a coalition of conservation, hunting, angling, and recreational interests.5 The legislation was withdrawn a week after its introduction and it looked as though the transfer movement might be losing momentum given the unsuccessful attempts, at the federal and state levels, to transfer or privatize federal public lands.6 * Martin Nie is Director of the Bolle Center for People and Forests and Professor of Natural Resources Policy, W.A.

Recent improvements included reconstruction of drainage chases behind the concrete tunnel lining, concrete lining repairs, a new subsurface drainage system in one of the shoulders, replacement of tunnel wall markers, installation of new waterways above the tunnel portals, repair and repointing of stone masonry, and resurfacing of the roadway inside the tunnel. On the front cover: View of a newly paved, two lane road, after a light rain, in Voyageurs National Park. ii EXPERIENCE YOUR AMERICA™ Introduction The National Park Service (NPS) includes some of the most treasured and valued places in America, providing each new generation the opportunity to connect with their natural and cultural heritage. Access to, and within these federal lands is provided through a variety of transportation systems, with the automobile being the primary mode of transport. Traditionally, park roads have been developed to connect visitors with resources, and many of these roads are celebrated as exemplars of the harmonious integration of engineering and landscape architecture. “For the majority of visitors who rarely stray from the paved path, park roads provide access to key destinations and afford carefully choreographed excursion through landscapes of scenic and historic interest. The NPS is continually
