 WASHINGTON, D.C.  — The U.S. Senate parliamentarian’s decision to strike a proposal to sell off more than three million acres of National Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management public lands is an important, but temporary, victory for wildlife, hunters, anglers, outdoor recreation, and rural communities across the West. The National Wildlife Federation urged the public to remain vigilant as a proposed public-lands sale could resurface in the reconciliation process and beyond.

 

“The parliamentarian’s pen temporarily staved off a public lands fire-sale proposal, but make no mistake: The threat to sell off places we hunt, fish, hike, and recreate, in the reconciliation process and beyond is not over, and so too must we remain vigilant,” said Collin O’Mara, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. “Thank you to the Republican and Democratic lawmakers standing with us against the recent land-sale proposals and thanks as well to the millions of hunters, anglers, hikers, and everyday people who joined together across geographies, generations, and ideologies to fight these dangerous lands sales.”
