Welcome to the PLHC’s four-part blog series, Outside History, the PLHC’s collaborative initiative with Rocky Mountain High School. Under the guidance of their teachers at RMHS, each of these blogs was written by a current high school student and edited by PLHC staff. From the complex history and present-day implications of Native land tenure in Hawaii to the management of popular local trails at the Maxwell Natural area in Fort Collins, these blogs confront public lands issues in all kinds of places, inviting readers to consider the ways public lands bridge the present with the past, whether through the oddball bit of historic legal arcana dating from the Bill of Rights or the age-old sight of a night sky brimming with stars.
