DO COWS BELONG ON PUBLIC LAND? (with Dagny Signorelli, Western Watersheds Project)
Episode 108
Monday, 12 January, 2026
On episode 107 of the Green Root Podcast (the official podcast of Eco-Integrity Alliance), Dagny Signorelli, Wyoming/Northern Utah Director with Western Watersheds Project, exposes the severe and worsening ecological, wildlife, and watershed impacts from ranchers grazing livestock on public lands across the West. Host Josh Schlossberg talks with Dagny about: -How supposedly protected public lands—including wilderness areas—run rampant with destructive domestic livestock (cattle and sheep). -How ranchers only pay a monthly fee of $1.35 per cow and calf to graze on National Forests and BLM lands. -How government “Wildlife Services” kills hundreds of thousands of wolves, coyotes, bears, mountain lions, bobcats, foxes, skunks, and other native wildlife every year at the behest of ranchers. -How public lands grazing and feedlots spread disease. -How less than 1.6% of U.S. beef consumption comes from public lands. -Dagny’s take on a root cause of the ecological crisis. The mission of Eco-Integrity Alliance (eco-integrityalliance.org) is to unite U.S. grassroots ecosystem advocates through common campaigns of mutual support.
