"In a world of bad news, my purpose is to connect people not only to public lands and the beauty of the outdoors- but also to promote community and spread joy." -Liz Crandall.
From Oregon to Colorado, two young Rangers teamed up in 2025 to advocate for all things public lands and the outdoors. As former National Park Service and US Forest Service field workers themselves, Liz and Mikayla invite you to join them on their new journey to speak up for those who may not be in a position to themselves and shine a guiding light into the raw and real truths behind the agencies and organizations who protect our natural spaces. Although Mikayla has moved on to other commitments in her busy life, Liz has adopted the podcast as her own and is still going strong. Here's to wishing joy and fulfillment to all who listen!
