The Public Lands Project (formerly Vibrant Public Lands; formerly Public Lands Without Livestock) was established by Mike Hudak in 1999 to inform the American people about the environmental and economic costs of allowing cattle ranching on public lands. In recent years, the project’s attention has expanded beyond the boundaries of public lands to wherever livestock are raised. Our activities include live multi-media presentations, articles, videos, and website displays.

Contributions support research and development of web-based photo essays and videos in addition to defraying ongoing operating expenses of the project.

Recent projects include the web-based installation of Lynn Jacob’s book Waste of the West and a video critique of using cattle in regenerative agriculture.

Financial donations, tax deductible to the extent allowed by law, can be made through our fiscal sponsor the Rochester Area Vegan Society (RAVS). Simply mail a check (payable to RAVS with the check’s memo field written to “Public Lands”) to the following address
