We’re joined by Haley Sweetland Edwards, a contributing editor at the Washington Monthly and author of the article “Showdown at Railroad Valley”; Josh Johnson, Central Idaho Director at the Idaho Conservation League; and Bryan Hurlbutt, Staff Attorney at Advocates for the West. The panel discusses shortcomings of the 1872 Mining Law, efforts to reform it, and emerging mining threats, such as the proposed Stibnite Gold Mine on the edge of the Frank Church–River of No Return Wilderness east of McCall, Idaho.
