WRITER / PHOTOGRAPHER / GUIDE / SPEAKER

Josh Jackson is a writer and photographer whose work shines a light on America’s most overlooked public lands—those managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Through his Forgotten Lands Project, he weaves storytelling and imagery to draw readers into the beauty and complexity of our least understood and most threatened landscapes. His work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Adventure Journal, Longreads, Backcountry Journal, and on numerous podcasts exploring nature, science, and conservation. His first book, The Enduring Wild: A Journey into California’s Public Lands, continues this exploration.

As founder of the Forgotten Lands Project, Josh shares this work through keynote talks on public lands, place attachment, and conservation history, as well as by guiding trips with the USAL Project that connect people directly to these landscapes. Learn more at forgottenlandsproject.com.
