We’ve opened a thread to help public lands people find each other. Here’s how it works. Head to the post, drop your city and the nearest piece of public land on your mind, whether you love it or something’s happening to it. Read the other comments. If someone’s near you naming the same fight, reply to them. Take it from there.

Because there’s a particular loneliness in paying attention to this stuff. The friend you grab a beer with glazes over when you mention the Roadless Rule. Your family thinks you’re being dramatic about the Forest Service. You’re often the only one in the room who knows what’s happening.

Thousands of readers are doing the same work in parallel silos and don’t know each other exists. The people dismantling these protections are counting on us staying scattered and quiet. That stops being true the moment we find each other.

Open the post, drop your city, and name the place. See who’s near you. And share this so the thread reaches more of us.
