What’s the Biggest Conservation Story Near You?

I made a trip south April 22nd to fish for native cutthroats with Trout Unlimited’s Corey Fisher, National Wildlife Federation’s Land Tawney, and Joel Webster of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. I started out at daylight, and crossed Rogers Pass in a howling horizontal blizzard. At the Cenex station in Lincoln, the first town for seventy miles from my house, I stopped for coffee. A young tow truck driver at the gas pumps asked me, “How’s the pass?” I struggled for an answer that would actually describe what I’d just driven through.
