“Sometimes politics is the art of the possible, but sometimes it’s the art of intervention that screws everything up.”

— John Freemuth

John Freemuth was a public policy professor and the Cecil Andrus Endowed Chair of Environment and Public Lands at Boise State University whose voice was featured in season one of Common Land.  He passed away on May 2nd, 2020 - this is our tribute to a professor who shaped the way that we view public lands in the West.
