Public lands deserve sustained funding and stewardship
Theodore Roosevelt IV, a Lehman Brothers director and Roosevelt's great grandson, argues that public lands from Alaska to Florida require stronger investment. He cites a growing maintenance backlog, minimal funding for refuges, and the Land and Water Conservation Fund as failures by both parties.
