Op-ed from Mayor of Ridgeway & Ouray County Commissioner on why it's time for Congress to pass the #COREAct. Thank you, @SenatorBennet, @RepJoeNeguse, @Hickenlooper, & other members of the Colorado delegation who working to pass this common-sense bill! https://t.co/sDlgsFvson

[Protect the Dolores @ProtectDolores]

3/ "A national monument on the land would offer much more protection and regulation, as well as more resources." It's time to begin a statewide conversation on creating a national monument for the entire Dolores River Canyon Country.

2/ The great plateaus and canyons of these public lands are the backyard for Western Coloradans. @SenatorBennet and @SenatorHick have introduced legislation to protect a track of the river corridor through Ponderosa Gorge. But time is of the essence.

📻Listen! 📻

@PNS_CO covers why Coloradans are asking the @BLM_CO and @forestservice to protect the #ThompsonDivide by moving forward with a 20-year mineral withdrawal. It would boost rural economies and safeguard wildlife habitat. https://t.co/A2851PunUg
