Multiple recent federal rule changes have reduced public oversight, allowing certain projects, like experimental genetically engineered plants/Trees and wildlife releases, to move forward with little to no review or public comment. This creates serious risks for both Nature and our trust in government.

What We Do:

• Share plain-language updates on rule changes and funding decisions.
• Help residents engage with local boards and state officials.
• File and publish public records requests (FOIA).
• Speaking at meetings or writing to oversight bodies and regulatory agencies.
• Try to raise awareness.

How to Get Involved:

• Subscribe for updates on meetings and public comment opportunities.
• Share documents or tips about public land projects.
• olunteer to help with outreach and research.
