Episode 3 - Secretary of Interior - The Honorable Ryan Zinke
We were honored to have the opportunity to sit down with Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke just minutes before he signed the historic Secretarial Order 3362 for big game corridors and winter range. We talk about the Secretary’s morning experience helping MDF with the urban deer transplant project, the department’s focus on restoring sagebrush habitats, his focus on the “frontlines” of the department to work on the landscape, and more. MDF President/CEO Miles Moretti also joins us to describe how MDF will be able to be even more engaged in restoration projects through this initiative. Finally, the secretary describes his day at the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo and the importance of getting kids and families together in the outdoors.
