Take Action: Stop the Senate’s Plan to Sell Off Public Lands
Senator Mike Lee just introduced a new proposal to sell off public lands—this time targeting BLM lands near communities across the West.
His previous attempt to force the sale of 3.3 million acres was rejected earlier this week, following massive public outcry. But he's back with a plan to require the sale of up to 1.2 million acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, focused specifically on areas close to population centers, putting your close-to-home recreation in the crosshairs.
Outdoor Alliance's GIS Lab is analyzing the bill, and our preliminary review shows significant overlap between recreation areas and lands that could be sold. From hiking trails to climbing crags, from mountain bike routes to rivers, the places we love could be at risk.
The outdoor community has already shown that public lands sell-offs are a losing proposition—and Senator Lee just won't take no for an answer. Now we need to raise our voices again.
