Common Ground in the Canyons: John Robison on Collaborative Conservation

In this information-packed episode, Erik Weiseth and Jack Hurty dive into the "unsexy but essential" work of advocating for Idaho’s outfitting industry. Erik shares insights from his recent trip to D.C. for "Camp Washington," including a surprising meeting with Senator Risch and updates on the ORG Act. Later, Jack previews a critical new economic report on the risks of public land transfers. The second half features a deep-dive interview with *John Robison*, Public Lands and Wildlife Director for the *Idaho Conservation League (ICL)*. John reflects on 25 years of conservation in Idaho, the legacy of the Owyhee Initiative, and why "collaborative conservation" is the superpower needed to keep public lands in public hands.
