“A Crisis of the Commons: Uncovering the Impacts of Federal Neglect of Public Lands”

"A Crisis of the Commons: Uncovering the Impacts of Federal Neglect of Public Lands,” with Elizabeth Stewart-Severy and Scott Fitzwilliams This presentation is part of Wilderness Workshop’s Naturalist Nights winter speaker series, a partnership with the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies and Roaring Fork Fork Audubon. In 2025, Scott Fitzwilliams retired from leading the 2.3 million-acre White River National Forest — the most visited in the country — for 15 years. Now, he speaks with local journalist Elizabeth Stewart-Severy, whose reporting for Aspen Journalism has helped to uncover how changes at the White River National Forest will impact the public lands that surround our communities. They will discuss the threats to America’s public lands, why it matters, and what the public can do as the federal government has cut or eliminated thousands of U.S. Forest Service staff positions, reduced budgets for road and trail maintenance, promised to gut the National Environmental Policy Act, and indicated a major reorganization of the agency.
