Reviews

Wow, there was so much in this course I never knew before! It gave me a whole new perspective on land use and how we recreate. I think it's so cool Crux Academy did a course on this.

I am so grateful that Dr. Necefer took the time to create this course. It was informative, fun, and easy to complete. I live in Canada, so I had a lot to learn about land management roles and responsibilities in the U.S. Similar issues emerge, but the available solutions are different. And, context is everything when building respectful relationships and seeking authentic collaboration. Thanks for your work!

Every outdoor adventurer needs to take this course. Whether you're a skier, a biker, or anything in between, Len's understanding of public lands and indegineous peoples is really important to take in. It definitely changes the way I recreate outside, and I'm really thankful for this newfound knowledge.
