Roundtable Leading Effort To Stop Federal Land Grab
The Western Business Roundtable
Stop A Huge Federal Land Grab
Congress intends to ram through a huge federal land grab bill when Congress convenes in January, 2008.
This 1000-page package would create and expand wilderness areas; establish new conservation areas; create and add to wild and scenic designations; designate new national scenic trails; add new national and historic park units and nearly a dozen new national heritage areas.
All told, the bill will create more than a million acres of wilderness, restrict the development of energy resources on various federal lands, and place millions of acres under new or enhanced federal control and further restrict many forms of use and access to public lands.
Take action now and tell your elected officials to stop this federal land grab!
