J Shell talks to Chris Krupp of WildEarth Guardians on the organization, its mission, and some of its current activities.

Chris joined WildEarth Guardians in September, 2016 as a Public Lands Guardian. He leads the Keep Public Lands in Public Hands campaign. His work focuses on preventing our commons from being treated as a commodity by those seeking to privatize the nation’s public lands via numerous schemes, including Congressional and administrative land trades and conveyances. Chris grew up playing in the fields and woods of his grandparents’ dairy farms in central Wisconsin. He received his J.D. from the University of Washington and his B.A. in Economics from Lawrence University.
