Rob Chaney

The Trump Administration has made quick work dismantling aspects of the federal government it calls wasteful or inefficient. Caught up in those cuts is the National Environmental Policy Act, which requires the federal government to take environmental impacts into consideration.

Rob Chaney covered the outdoors for decades as a Missoulian reporter and editor. Last week he learned he had been laid off by the paper's owner, Lee Enterprises. MTPR’s Ellis Juhlin sat down with Chaney to reflect on his time covering environmental issues, and to look ahead to his future plans.
