National Public Lands Day, Saturday September 28th, 2019
(Always the last Saturday in September.)
-- National Public Lands Day
Separately from the book, This Land: HOW COWBOYS, CAPITALISM, AND CORRUPTION ARE RUINING THE AMERICAN WEST, mentioned in the previous post (also see the LA Times review, "Review: The American West is dying. Christopher Ketcham’s ‘This Land’ is a rallying cry to save it"), musician Gary Clark, Jr. has a song out called "This Land." It's powerful (Gary Clark Jr. talks Hollywood Bowl debut and making ‘This Land’: ‘I want to push all the buttons’," Orange County Register).".
And there is the famous Woody Guthrie song, "This Land Is Your Land" that we grow up learning and singing too.
