On July 7th, Madison BookBeat host Bill Tishler welcomed Steven Davis, professor of political science at Edgewood University, to WORT 89.9 FM to discuss Davis’s new book, The Other Public Lands: Preservation, Extraction, and Politics on the Fifty States’ Natural Resource Lands (Temple University Press, 2025). While national parks and federally managed lands often dominate the conversation, Davis’s research highlights an often-overlooked category—nearly 200 million acres owned and managed by individual states. Drawing on extensive comparative analysis across all 50 states, he provided valuable insights into how these lands are governed, protected, and sometimes exploited. Davis also reflected on Wisconsin’s deep conservation legacy, shaped by figures like John Muir, Aldo Leopold, and Gaylord Nelson, and expressed concern over how far the state has fallen from the leadership position it once held in environmental stewardship and support for public lands. The episode gave listeners a richer understanding of the vital role state-owned lands play in shaping environmental policy, public access, and political decision-making nationwide.
