In the country. And the significant opportunities for conservation which is the crown jewel of conservation programs and of course our National Parks. Its not Just National parks, of course. Its our forests, grounds, and efforts we have with the bureau of indian education. I thought i would talk specifically about some colorado projects today and what land and Water Conservation fund has meant for colorado. This is a photo of wilson peak in colorado, rises over telluride in southwest colorado. Its one of the 54 mountains in colorado that top 14,000 feet.

Side. But, us know, history is not the long suit. Of these woke children. They didnt take history classes apparent lit in high school and college. They were too busy taking social justice seminars. You can see tt too in philadelphia. The statue of matias baldwin. He was a committed and devoted abolitionist who funded education for freed African Americans, who gave them jobs, and they defaced his statue. Even more amazing, in boston the shaw memorial was defaced. The shaw memorial honors the 54th massachusetts regiment, the first African American regiment formed after the emancipation proclamation.

Protestors and Law Enforcement have different stories about what led up to this confrontation. It was chaotic and tense, when hundreds of demonstrators met police on backwater bridge north of the main protest camp. Protestors say bridge. They claim that deputies who were blocking the bridge fired rubber bullets and tear gas at them and sprayed them with a water cannon in subfreezing temperatures. The Sheriffs Office says some of those claims are exaggerated. They called this an ongoing riot and said demonstrators started several fires and did try to attack the police line.
