BLM (Bureau of Land Management) in California is trying to close more and more public lands in Nor-Cal. We have written a letter opposing this on your behalf and encourage you to submit your comments to oppose this closure. Navigating their proposal and trying to understand the content of their plan is a bit challenging […]
