A conservation activist and former chief of the U.S. Forest Service says that it’s up to the nation’s politicians and its citizens to preserve and protect the legacy of American land conservation, a legacy secured in part by the late politician and environmental activist Gaylord Nelson.
Speaking Tuesday night at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Michael Dombeck, professor of global environmental management at UW-Stevens Point, said that political partisanship is hampering efforts to improve land and water conservation efforts.
