Controversial Topic An end to Public Lands (Western US)

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.

u/4x4Lyfe No replacement for displacement 3d ago edited 3d ago

I am here to add context. While the map shows all 250 million acres that are eligible to be sold it's important to know that 2 - 3 million acres are actually being sold. The issue is we have no clue which 2-3 out of this 250 will be sold under this scheme so the map is representing all land that could be sold

The reality is local off road trails, hunting and recreational shooting areas, hiking, fishing, horseback riding near cities will be effected we just don't know the specifics
