Thanks, Larry, for sharing how close to home these thoughtless measures are hitting. And thanks to all the people who showed up to protest. We can not just roll over, as some may be hoping; we must continue to call out these terrible actions.
Thank you so much Larry for writing this. Your thoughts represent so many of us that feel our National Parks truly are the "jewels" and the best of this nation. To see our public lands and waters under siege like this breaks my heart. Thank you for your action at Effigy Mounds.
Brian Gibbs IS the park called Effigy Mounds. He and the land are invaluable resources to the State of Iowa, the people of the Driftless, and the precious indigenous people who WE THE PEOPLE continue to desecrate. Thank you Larry!
Contact Ashley Hinson and let her know your pain and angst. Contact your Iowa State Senators and Representatives and tell them not to pass the bill repealing the Natural Resource and Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund. Stand up and fight!! Stop the Steal. Stop taking our Nature away and stop destroying it.
Thank you for telling this story. Thank you to all of the people who showed up today to talk about what Effigy Mounds and the entire National Parks system means to the people of our country.
We also made the NY Times!

I hope the collective outrage and loss of heritage helps. It’s all a disgrace. Thanks for writing this
Great piece
Good reporting, Larry. If there was still a statewide Sunday morning paper you would have been above the fold!
Thanks, Richard! Nice that the NY Times found us!
