Katharine Groetzinger

Welcome to The Landscape, your show about America's parks and public lands.

And today, what could happen to them if the Senate permitting bill passes? I'm Kate Groetzinger with the Center for Western Priorities in Salt Lake City.

And I'm Aaron Weiss outside the March Symposium on Public Lands happening today at the University of Colorado Law School in Boulder.

There are a whole lot of heavy hitters inside this building behind me, including really a who's who list of former guests on this podcast, like law professor John Leshey.

Good morning.

And Center for Western Priorities Communications Manager and CityCast Salt Lake contributor Kate Groetzinger.

That's director to you.

Today on the show, we're talking to Lexi Tuddenham, executive director of HEAL Utah, about nuclear development proposed in Utah, and how that intersects with public lands.

Before we get to that interview, though, we've got some big news.

Our guest today is Lexi Tudnam, executive director of HEAL Utah, an environmental group that's currently fighting to keep Utah from becoming the nation's testing ground for the nuclear industry's next act.

And we should mention before we start that Kate is also a volunteer board member at HEAL Utah.

And with that, Lexi, welcome to The Landscape.
