Colorado congressman who replaced Boebert has introduced a bill that would eliminate BLM recreation facilities along the Arkansas River. This administration wants to erase public lands. In addition to wasting a decade's worth of the local BLM Field Office’s time and resources, this bill would…
- eliminate all 114,700 acres of Lands with Wilderness Characteristics (LWC),
- eliminate all of the 87,400 acres of recently designated priority hunting and fishing areas (Backcountry Conservation Areas),
- slash Recreation Management Areas from 71,400 acres to 15,300 acres,
- eliminate all 60 miles of Wild and Scenic Rivers, which is predominantly made up of the Arkansas River for its recreational values,
- slash Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) from 101,500 acres to 34,800 acres, and
- undermine the South Park Master Leasing Plan, formed by local community input.
