PUBLIC LANDS

​True conservation is not taking the taking the people off the land, but empowering those close to the land with the resources necessary to preserve the land for future generations. This is why I support the Public Land Transfer efforts to bring the decision making process back to a local level.   We are all stewards of public lands, and we  need to take the special interest groups out of the decision making process. Locally led policies are crucial to the future of public lands and the communities that depend on them to survive.
