Take Action to Protect 5,000 Miles of Trails
I received the following Action Alert from the American Hiking Society, which works to protect hiking trails, their surrounding natural landscapes, and the hiking experience:
The American Hiking Society needs your help today to urge Congress to pass the National Landscape Conservation System Act (HR 2016), an important bill that will permanently protect more than 5,000 miles of National Scenic and Historic Trails and 26 million acres of beautiful, unique western lands.
The Bureau of Land Management’s National Landscape Conservation System is a network of the last places to experience the history and wild beauty of the American West. Unfortunately, unlike other national systems of public lands, the BLM’s Conservation System lacks the official Congressional approval that its incredible resources deserve. Only Congress can permanently protect and recognize the National Landscape Conservation System for the enduring benefit of present and future generations.
Want to support the National Landscape Conservation System and tell your Representative why hiking is important to you? Visit the American Hiking Society’s site.
