Protecting America’s Public Lands

Patagonia Cambridge 39 Brattle Street, Cambridge

Join Patagonia Cambridge for an event focused on recent and ongoing threats to public lands and how to defend against them, led by the Emmett Environmental Law & Policy Clinic at Harvard University.

One third of the United States is publicly owned. This figure includes National Forests and Parks and arid lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management. These lands are under multiple threats and so are the lifeways of Native peoples who have lived on these lands for time immemorial. Learn about some of these threats and issues from Harvard Law students working with the Emmett Environmental Law and Policy Clinic.

The student volunteers will be presenting on a variety of public land law topics, including the proposed rescission of the Roadless Rule, oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and subsistence fishing in Alaska.

All are welcome! Come mingle, have food and drink, and learn about public lands issues!
