TWO MINUTES TO UNLOCK MILLIONS OF ACRES OF YOUR PUBLIC LANDS

Great News for all of us who care about access to public lands, helping our economy, jobs and improving forest health.

Congressman Kevin McCarthy recently introduced his ‘Wilderness and Roadless Area Release Act of 2011” HR1581 into the House of Congress to release lands, which decades ago were determined by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management to be unsuitable for Wilderness designation. This legislation fully embodies both recreation and stewardship, something we believe most reasonable people will join us in heartily supporting.

    This important bill would release millions of acres of lands which have been needlessly restricted for 20 years, because the public had not spoken up and demanded their release.
    These lands have a rich history of Multiple Use and contain mines, cabins, developed campgrounds, roads and trails
    These lands once again will provide places for families to recreate, camp, mountain bike, dirt bike, 4x4, hunt and fish.
    These lands will again be actively managed as needed to promote forest health and prevent unnatural wildfires.
    These lands will once again provide jobs and income to local economies.
    This bill will stop the BLM from designating \"Wild Lands\", which would be de facto Wilderness, without public or Congressional approval

Decades are a long time to keep lands lock up for no valid reason. Aaron now is the time for you, your family and friends to speak up and support this important and long overdue legislation. It will only take Two Minutes, but will make a difference.
