The public lands near towns etc are not only the most used. Selling of public lands on the outer borders near towns would block access to more distant public lands.

"A small percentage of the federal land we own that borders current urban areas that's not used for recreational or national parks". Does land sale agnostic Burgum know the land he's supposed to be overseeing? Lands by towns are some of the MOST used.

Nezvik is a proponent of selling public lands. He is not the one to run the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

Montanan's have been betrayed. Daines is promoting the sell off public lands to give tax cuts to the rich and Sheehy is remaining mum.

Fix or Forests Act is NOT a fix.
"the bottom line is the same: this is an attack on our public lands."

Tell your representatives not to sell our public lands. They are priceless and they are not for sale or transfer!

The House Natural Resources Committee voted to authorize the sale of more than half a million acres of public lands to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.

Call your senators: 202-224-3121

Public lands are irreplaceable and far too valuable to be sold off to fund tax cuts.

Trump and the mining industry want to bring toxic mining to the doorstep of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

Write your rep and senators urge them to co-sponsor and pass the Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection and Pollution Prevention Act.

"Birds’ respiratory systems are incredibly efficient at producing the oxygen required to fly.  But they are also more vulnerable to the effects of smoke ...". BLM & FS year-round prescribed burning kills adults and chicks with smoke, harms people too.

We're urging the Bureau of Land Management to drop its plan for cutting and thinning trees in the Soda Mountain Wilderness in Oregon and instead protect the area’s wilderness character. #KeepItwild

The "extinction caucus" in Congress wants to gut the Endangered Species Act even as the world faces a biodiversity and extinction crisis!

Speak up to stop this brazen attack on the ESA and help save America’s imperiled plants and wildlife!
