In this month’s book, The Enduring Wild, author Josh Jackson takes us on a California road trip to discover the stories behind our state’s sprawling public lands. Jackson’s journey spans thousands of miles, crisscrossing the Golden State to seek out the 15 million acres overseen by the Bureau of Land Management. The journey takes us from the North Coast shores of the King Range south to the Mojave Desert. Jackson tells of the indigenous people who called these lands home for millennia, and of the current mining and other extractive threats to BLM areas. Jackson also spotlights the grassroots organizers and political champions who have rallied to defend BLM lands, and to uphold the radical mandate to protect these natural treasures for generations to come.
