Stop Huge Federal Land Grab

Send the letter by clicking here
Congress intends to ram through a huge federal land grab bill in November -- in a so-called "lame duck" session after the elections!

This bill (H.R. 5151) 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, this bill will create more than a million acres of wilderness, restrict the development of energy resources on various federal lands, and place hundreds of thousands 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!
