Josh Lowenstein
Josh is the Founder,Director and Chairman of
OurAmericanLands.
The calling to Real Life Conservation has been instilled in Josh since childhood.
"Real Life Conservation" is far different from what eco-activists and governmental agency people would define as "conservation".
Eco-Activists and agency bureaucrats have preconceived notions that they are the "masters" of the land water and animals.
They think they know what is best, without listening to different or opposing viewpoints.
Real Conservation comes from respect and love for the land.
We never conquer a mountain, we survive it.
Responsible development of natural resources is critical for national security and economic prosperity. OurAmericanLands has no ties to any mining or O&G companies, but supports responsible small footprint developement on public ground.
OurAmericanLands was formed to put We the People firmly seated at the "table". To work to keep open/reopen closed roads/trails.
To never let rouge activist NGOs and agency bureaucrats dictate policy without direct approval from the public.
Rough roads are not for everyone, they just present a challenge to those unafraid and prepared to be one with the terrain.
In other words don't close roads or run graders over them in the belief that you know best. No, Josh does not care if your BLM truck gets beat up.
Josh wants the backcountry roads to be unforgiving and rough, as they slow us down, make us aware, help us to gain a greater appreciation for the wonders of the world. Besides there are plenty of easy two track roads.
Josh's father said, "when in the woods, listen to the wind blowing through the trees, if you can, you'll hear the music.
Our Public lands are to be enjoyed, loved and respected.
Stay on roads and trails
Never litter and please pick up trash another may have left
Keep noise to a minimum
Be prepared
Our Goal is Simple, Never Let Activist NGOs, Government Agencies have unchecked power to do anything that goes against the tenants of MULTIUSE
of Public Lands.
Our Second Goal is to end the use of Conservation Easements
Private Lands are just that, leave them be.
Our third is to end any use of Eminent Domain.
Your "progress" is not a private land owners problem.
Our American Lands supports Family Farms and Ranching operations worldwide.

My commitment to excellence and innovation has been a driving force throughout my career.
