Amanpour and Company: The Future of Public Land
Published March 21, 2025
Right now, America’s public lands and outdoor spaces—the places where we find solace, inspiration, hope, and connection—are facing challenges unlike any we’ve seen in generations. Trust for Public Land’s CEO and President, Dr. Carrie Besnette Hauser, sat down for an interview with Walter Isaacson to discuss shifts in federal policy, concerns about funding freezes, staff reductions, and the risks posed to projects for communities across the country. They explored how we are continuing to work community by community to meet this moment, uphold our values, and advance our mission—connecting more people to the outdoors through schoolyards, community parks, and green spaces in both urban and rural areas.
