How a Love of Wilderness Became a Mission: The Ground Between Us & Rangers of the Lost Park

In this episode, Eli Henderson of The Ground Between Us Podcast sits down with Liz Crandall of Rangers of the Lost Park Podcast to explore how a passion for wilderness can grow into a lifelong commitment to conservation and public lands advocacy.

Liz shares the experiences that shaped her connection to the outdoors and led her to dedicate her career to protecting public lands. From her work in Yellowstone to her advocacy for places like Dolly Sods, we discuss the importance of stewardship, the challenges facing public lands, and the responsibility we all share in preserving these landscapes for future generations.

This conversation is about more than conservation policy. It's about developing a deeper relationship with the natural world, finding purpose through service, and understanding why wild places are worth fighting for.

Subjects covered include:
