NEW: I Spoke to Fox News About Biden Policies Attacking Outdoor Recreation, Public Lands Access
Here's the latest dispatch.
Hi everyone,
I have more quick thing to share with you today.
Fox News Digital included my comments in a new piece about Biden administration policies that are undermining outdoor recreation opportunities and public lands access.
Gabriella Hoffman, a senior fellow at the Independent Women's Forum's Center for Energy and Conservation, said the U.S. government is trying to redefine conservationism through its newly proposed Public Lands Rule, resulting in decreased access to public lands.
"When you see that they're trying to remake conservation into something else, is it really conservation or is it an alternative kind of view, environmentalism, which is preservationist, which is more restricted [and] really doesn't welcome people on the landscape and can be exploited."
Hoffman describes herself as an avid angler and hunter, which makes her familiar with conservation issues.
This "is very much against what public lands are for, it's supposed to be accessible to all, especially for not only commercial uses if you're living by the land or close to land or off the land, but also to recreational access," she said.
"This rule, to me, sticks out as something that is kind of presenting mixed messages," she added. "It's largely stemming away from what true conservation is and the conservation lease component to me could be exploited by preservation and environmental groups to heavily outbid smaller individuals, smaller groups because they're very powerful, they have millions, billions of dollars that they can use."
