The Center for Western Priorities is taking our “Go West, Young Podcast” on the road this summer, highlighting key conservation issues across the West and featuring local leaders in their own communities. We launched the podcast road tour at the Outdoor Retailer show in Denver with a panel of experts focusing on the growing impact of the outdoor recreation industry on conservation. The Outdoor Retailer show is the largest outdoor industry trade show in North America, gathering industry brands, retailers, and suppliers and providing a natural forum for conversations around the importance of public lands and conservation efforts to the outdoor recreation economy.
