You can help protect America’s precious National Parks,
Monuments and other wild places from Highway Robbery. Check this page
frequently for updates on citizen action.
Stop the Public Lands Giveaway!
In January 2003, the Bush administration revived a
137-year-old loophole - known as RS 2477 - to allow special
interests to convert old livestock trails, footpaths, even streambeds
on our public lands into paved highways. Private interests could use
this loophole to plow a spider web of roads through National Parks,
Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, Wilderness Areas and potential
wildlands. This amounts to a massive giveaway of the special places
Americans cherish. (Learn more
about RS 2477 and the administration’s efforts to revive the
loophole).
COLORADO LANDS AT RISK!
Learn more about threats to National Parks, National Wildlife Refuges,
and wilderness lands in
Colorado and
take action to protect them.
With its new
Disclaimer Rule,
the Interior Department is trying to make it easier for the Federal
government to grant bogus RS 2477 claims.
Alert: In October
2006 New Mexico
congressman Steve Pearce introduced a
bill that would virtually give away public lands to counties and
states.
