PUBLIC LANDS AT RISK IN NEW SENATE BILL!

RED ALERT - MAJOR PORTION OF US PUBLIC LANDS AT RISK: ACT NOW!!!

--From the Outdoor Alliance: "Last week, the Senate released text of a major spending package, which included a proposal to sell off about 3 million acres of public land. Today, Outdoor Alliance released a map showing that nearly 300 million acres of public lands could be open for these proposed sales, an area that includes nearly 100,000 miles of trails, 8,232 climbing areas, and 3,405 river miles across the West."

--A map of the lands considered for sale can be found here. Note that the sale would include iconic places in Washington like Washington Pass, including the Liberty Bell Group, the forest on Mt. Baker Highway, and the forest around Baker lake. Massive swaths of land in Oregon, California, Nevada and Utah...including many valleys with ski resorts.

--What you can do:

• Write your senators and congress people using one of these tools: Outdoor Alliance Tool. Access Fund Tool.
• Note that even if you expect your senators to vote against this, they track calls and emails. The more input they get, the more focused they are on a given topic. It's important to do this.
