This Friday on
RadioWest, we’re examining former-President Trump’s impact on the environment and public lands here in the West. Like so many issues these days, this is divisive territory.
In his four years as president, Donald Trump rolled back more than 125 environmental regulations and removed protections from nearly 35 million acres of public lands, including millions here in Utah. Seen from one side of the ideological divide, the weakening of protections for migratory birds, the shrinking of national monuments and a host of other actions look like assaults on wildlife and wild places. But step across the aisle and those actions are seen as boons to business and rural communities. We’ll hear from both sides this Friday at noon, and ask what effect the Biden administration might have in his first term.
