Wild Connections Stands in Solidarity with our Public Lands
Our National Forests, BLM lands, National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges are at risk due to dramatic staff and resource cuts, funding freezes and extractive resource orders by the Trump administration, who are working alongside lawmakers and special interest groups to sell off federally-managed public lands.
Wild Connections stands in solidarity with the staff of our Pike-San Isabel National Forest, Royal Gorge BLM, Florissant Fossil Beds and Browns Canyon National Monuments, and the US Fish & Wildlife.
Learn More and Take Action at KeepItPublic.CO.
A new website, keepitpublic.co, was recently created by the broader community of public lands conservation organizations in Colorado as your central hub for staying informed and taking effective action to prevent the sell-off our public lands!
Our July 12 Seeding Restoration Project was a Big Success!
Big thanks to our volunteers and our partners at the Forest Service South Park Ranger District for making our 39 Mile Mountain restoration project a success!
We closed and seeded two sections, which helped improve the local wildlife habitat, while also opening up an additional 1,300 acres contiguous with the current 11,800 acre 39 Mile Mountain Roadless Area!
