“Many who visit our lands mention climate change and want to make sure we’re staying on top of it,” Howes said. “Obviously, there’s nothing we can do ourselves, but we try to stay educated and educate people who follow us and visit … We want to make sure everybody has an opportunity to get outdoors and to be able to hike some lands and most of the lands are open to hunting. We really conserve the land for people to use. And we’re always looking to conserve more.”
