Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit WildAlert.

The short explanation of this alert was:

The Interior Department is poised to surrender rights of way affecting millions of acres in our parks, wildlife refuges, monuments and other protected areas.

The vehicle is a revised regulation the department issued in early 2003.  It was meant to invite a new western land rush.  And it has.  The Bureau of Land Management will make the first decision under this dangerous new regulation in a case that would give Utah a 99-mile-long road across public lands.  This decision will set a deliberately low standard for thousands more such claims unless we can change it.  The agency is accepting public comments on this scheme through Saturday, May 8, 2004.

Please take action today to oppose this surrender of America's public lands!
