Have you heard of the Roadless Rule? Today on the podcast, Jane speaks with UW Professor Julian Olden about the news that the Trump administration has formally proposed its removal, and why it could lead to more fires and affect our drinking water (and beer!). Then we revisit two conversations about how the current administration’s policies are affecting Washington. The first is a chat from April between Jane and contributors Guy Oron and Andy Engleson about the dismantling of the Forest Service and what it means for our hiking trails. Finally, we spoke with Teresa Mosqueda back in January about ways that local and state governments can protect their residents from ICE and other federal encroachment.
