Western Lands Manager, Brittany Fallon, has channeled her love for New Mexico and the environment into a career championing climate solutions in the Land of Enchantment. She loves river rafting on the Chama and snowshoeing with her dog Cooper whenever she's not fighting for our Western Lands.

In this episode, we learn about The Land of Enchantment Legacy Fund, a bill Brittany has worked on for over 5 years. This bill will create permanent funding for 10 programs that help protect New Mexico and support outdoor equity in the Cactus state.
