The Power of Public Lands

Few people have sat on every side of the table when it comes to funding our public lands, the agency, the nonprofit, the boardroom, and the field. Becky Humphries has spent over three decades navigating all of them. Becky will sit down with Dan Wanschura, host of the Points North Podcast, to share what she's learned about the value of public lands as engines of economic opportunity and community identity. Drawing on decades in the field and in the boardroom, she'll discuss what's at stake for the outdoor economy and why access to public lands matters. Expect a conversation grounded in experience, offering a look at where access to Michigan's public lands stands and a hopeful vision for what's possible when all sectors of the outdoor economy work together.
