EP 237: True Conservationists Should Oppose 30x30 Initiative in 2022 (ft. Margaret Byfield)

In Episode 237 of District of Conservation, Gabriella welcomes American Stewards for Liberty executive director Margaret Byfield to the program. Margaret came on to discuss her background in property rights, Endangered Species Act reforms, and fighting 30x30 - the misleading initiative to conserve public waters and lands by 2030. Margaret goes into great detail about the dubious nature of the proposal, the grassroots movement that has resulted, and why true conservationists should put this policy high on their list in 2022.
