In February 2017, weeks after the inauguration of Donald Trump, a conservative political operative named Don Peay trudged up a steep, sagebrush-covered hillside outside Salt Lake City. Peay served as Trumps campaign manager in Utah and is a hunting advocate who has gone out shooting with rightwing icons such as Dick Cheney, Ted Nugent and Donald Trump Jr.
Peay wanted to point out a particular parcel of public land that used to be overrun by highly invasive cheat grass. Several years ago, he worked with local land managers to revegetate it with native plants favored by deer and elk.
Were proud of what weve done here, Peay said. It shows that local people know the land better than bureaucrats from Washington or tourists from California.
Doesnt it belong to all of us? I asked, noting that the land we stood upon was managed by the federal government, in trust for the American people.
His answer was unexpected.
Yeah, he replied. But it belongs more to me than it does to you.
