A photo recap of "Roam the Roan" from a few weekends ago.

Around the campfire, fresh faces met; we talked about our favorite landscapes, traded stories from the trail, and shared what brought us up to the Roan.

By sunrise, 14 volunteers from Wilderness Workshop, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, Bureau of Land Management, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and our local community were gloved up and hauling tools into the sagebrush for the "Roam the Roan" fence pull.

By afternoon… a full mile of hazardous grazing wire was coiled and packed out, reopening vital migration corridors for local elk and mule deer.

As wire came down, conversations echoed across the sagebrush:
“I never knew this was up here.”
“I’ve been hunting here for years.”
“You can take this road all the way to Meeker.”
“This will make such a difference.”

Places like this are the conversations we carry around the campfire, around the dinner table, and across our communities.

Nuestra conexión con las tierras públicas va mucho más allá del sendero.
--
Our connection to public lands does not stop at the trailhead.

Spanish: A pocos días de la Semana Latina de la Conservación, Jando y Perla Gurrola, voluntaria de Defiende Nuestra Tierra, viajaron a Washington, D.C., con la National Wilderness Coalition para participar en la Semana Nacional de las Áreas Silvestres.

Junto con otras organizaciones de conservación, nos reunimos con las oficinas de Congressman Joe Neguse, Senator John Hickenlooper y Senator Michael Bennet para explicar por qué nuestras tierras públicas son importantes para nuestras comunidades y para abogar por protecciones permanentes. Perla llevó la perspectiva de una residente latina de Gypsum y defensora de la equidad en el acceso a los espacios naturales, con fuertes conexiones con las comunidades y tierras públicas del condado de Eagle.

En un momento de crecientes amenazas a nuestras tierras públicas, llevar nuestras voces directamente a quienes toman decisiones ayuda a asegurar que nuestras experiencias, relaciones y prioridades sean parte de la conversación sobre la conservación. El Congreso debe actuar para proteger las áreas naturales que aún nos quedan antes de que sea demasiado tarde.

English:

Just days after Latino Conservation Week, Jando and Defiende Nuestra Tierra volunteer Perla Gurrola traveled to Washington, D.C., with the National Wilderness Coalition for National Wilderness Week.

Alongside conservation partners from across the nation, we met with the offices of Congressman Joe Neguse, Senator John Hickenlooper, and Senator Michael Bennet to share why public lands matter to our communities and to advocate for permanent protections.

Perla brought the perspective of a Gypsum Latina resident and outdoor equity advocate with deep connections to communities and public lands across Eagle County.

As public lands face unprecedented threats, bringing our voices directly to decision-makers helps ensure our experiences, relationships, and priorities are part of the conservation conversation. Congress must act to protect our remaining wildlands before it’s too late.
