By and For The People is a Citizen-led Effort to Ensure Transparency and Accountability in Public Land Decisions and Federal Spending
January 7, 2025
Our mission is to make sure communities have a voice and clear information about conservation projects and new technologies — especially biotechnology — that may impact our environment and way of life.

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.
