Friends of Organ Mountains-Desert Peak-The Role of Public Lands in Climate Change

Meet  Patrick Nolan

Patrick is the Executive Director of Friends of Organ Mountains-Desert Peak.

Patrick brings thirteen years of organizing experience and six years with the American Federation of Teachers New Mexico (AFTNM).  With AFTNM, Patrick worked with school employees across the state of New Mexico as they advocated for strong public schools. Patrick’s work with the American Federation of State and County and Municipal employees took him to several western states, Alaska, Utah, Colorado, and Washington. Public lands play a pivotal role in all of these states and their economies, much as they do in New Mexico. The extensive time working in these states opened Patrick’s eyes to the benefit of protecting and advocating for Public Lands. He worked with folks tasked with protecting and maintaining public lands on state, county, and city levels. The love they had for public lands helped Patrick learn the value of public lands. His experience building coalitions across the diverse state of New Mexico will serve him well as we advocate for Public Lands.

On the podcast, we discussed:
