The One Big Beautiful Bill Act and What it Means for Public Lands - Public Lands News (May 12 - 16)

This week, we break down the whirlwind of public lands policy battles happening in Congress and at the Department of the Interior.

But it’s not all grim. We also share a couple glimmers of good news, including a federal court decision slowing mass staff layoffs in national parks and a creative billboard campaign calling out those responsible for the growing park service crisis.

What's covered:

• The One Big Beautiful Bill Act and what it means for public lands, clean energy, and climate policy

• Their plan to sell 500,000 acres of public lands in Utah and Nevada

• Fast-tracking oil, gas, and uranium projects under the guise of a “national energy emergency”

• Rollbacks on solar and wind development rules on BLM-managed lands
