Register for Healthy Public Lands Conference May 28-30, 2025

2025 HEALTHY PUBLIC LANDS CONFERENCE

We are excited to launch the second edition of the HEALTHY PUBLIC LANDS CONFERENCE in Salt Lake City, May 28-30 at the University of Utah Law School. The June 2022 Healthy Public Lands Conference was the inaugural event organized by the Healthy Public Lands Project, a coalition of environmental organizations. In 2025 this conference will once again bring together conservation groups, advocates, and experts focused on improving the management of livestock grazing on public lands to protect watersheds and wildlife habitats.

Please see the conference website here: https://www.hplconference.org/, with descriptions of the 2025 speaker/discussion panels, which will cover topics ranging from vegetation treatments on public lands, to wild horse management, to “imagining the ideal” — examples of rewilding and managing healthy landscapes in the absence of livestock grazing. A notable feature of the conference will be a field trip on the third day, where participants will visit an active grazing allotment and learn how to assess the health of public lands, and providing valuable insights into federal land management processes.

The conference is designed to promote a collective vision for prioritizing healthy ecosystems across our public lands, with sliding-scale registration to ensure accessibility for all participants. We hope you can join us in Salt Lake City this spring!

Registration is now open here: https://www.hplconference.org/register

May I ask whether you are in touch with Deb Haaland, former US Dept. of Interior Secretary, under President Biden? As you surely know, she is now running for Governor of New Mexico. It seems to me that she would be — as the first/only Native American to serve in any Presidential Cabinet — a likely provider of great insights and strategies for this wonderful conference!
