Big fan of being outside, wild lands and rivers, food, play, travel, politics, equity, justice, and other stuff that makes this world better. Tweets are my own.

On @united flight 1217 sitting here delayed and the pilot cannot be bothered to tell us why. Is it that hard to take a few seconds to give an entire plane the courtesy of an explanation? It’s silly that my @united app is a better communicator than the person flying this plane.

Rivers protected as “Outstanding Resource Waters” support:

✅Wildlife habitat

✅Tribal cultural & spiritual customs

Washington recently used this tool for the first time to protect some of its outstanding rivers. #NationalRiversMonth https://t.co/wva2e4G2Gq

Our rivers provide critical habitat, clean drinking water, climate change resilience, and more.

Here are a few examples of rivers from across the country that communities are working to restore and protect, including the Pecos River in New Mexico. https://t.co/zJ2fZ5M7GG

Progress: Today, in New Mexico, @WHCEQ Chair @BrendaMallory46 announced over 50 new commitments to the America the Beautiful Freshwater Challenge.

The challenge aims to protect, restore, and reconnect 8 million acres of wetlands and 100,000 river miles by 2030.

DYK: Less than 1% of U.S. river miles are federally protected.

Today, @POTUS challenged U.S. states, communities, Tribes, and others to partner to conserve or reconnect 8 million acres of wetlands and 100,000 miles of rivers and streams by 2030. https://t.co/SB82nc8met

California is home to some of the country’s most diverse public lands, and the state has made significant strides in conserving these beautiful places. This is a helpful look at conservation strategies that can protect the future of these lands and rivers. https://t.co/05vfZiJqPz

As our climate changes, the approach to supporting the health and sustainability of America’s national forests must also shift. Data from my @pewtrusts colleagues and Conservation Science Partners can inform science-based decisions for the @forestservice. https://t.co/2ltEY4gq3A

The #AviKwaAme in Nevada is a sacred region for many Tribes and home to desert wildlife.

Here’s how designating it as a national monument would protect this cherished public landscape for future generations. #HonorAviKwaAme https://t.co/rVLagNRHpx

Breaking: the @USDA is restoring full protections to 9 million acres of the Tongass National Forest, the “crown jewel of the U.S. national forest system.” #ProtectTheTongass #Tongass https://t.co/dXn4apcYwb

Today is the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act and it's still making gains today! In 2022 Colorado protected over 500 miles of waters in the state thanks to this landmark piece of legislation.

[Pew Environment @pewenvironment]

🎂 Happy 50th birthday to the Clean Water Act!

The act enables states and Tribes to officially designate rivers as outstanding—protecting them for future generations.

Here’s how 4 states are using it. 👇 #ProtectOurWaters #CleanWater50 https://t.co/oPcaWQyUHB

📢NEVADA ACTION: Join us in asking our elected officials to ensure outstanding waters, like Lake Tahoe, the Virgin River, and the Ruby Marshes, get the protections they deserve with an Ecological and Aesthetic Waters designation. #ProtectNVWater

The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act—established today in 1968—protects rivers that have outstanding natural, cultural, and economic values.

Here’s why safeguarding these rivers is so vital. 👇

ICYMI: Yesterday was World River Day! Rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds make up about 0.007% of freshwater on Earth–but have big benefits to people and the planet. Here are just a few reasons to keep our rivers free-flowing and healthy. #WorldRiversDay https://t.co/kBqdFsF3AD
