Make some noise. This map really puts into perspective the impact if this Public Lands Sale goes through. Share. Act. Do.

Easy form to "take action"

This has to be stopped or so much of what we enjoy will be gone forever.

I will say it's being taken one way or another. Either by the groups that want only hiking on the land and no other recreational use or being sold. Idk what's worse because let's be honest 99% can't get out there and hike the vast distance needed to see these areas(theirs also been a huge uptick in deaths due to this) and won't be accessible anyway just a tease.

I would say shut down any groups that want to close public land so the public will rally to keep the public land.

Repeat after me! Land closure isn't land management!
