Make Some Noise

Last month, I wrote about an administration plan to sell off more than $1 billion in public land during the next decade, including 85,000 acres of National Forest property. They said we would have 30 days to register our disproval, and that time has come.

Here’s the contact info:

Email: SRS_Land_Sales@fs.fed.us

Fax: (202) 205–1604

Snail mail: USDA Forest Service, SRS Comments, Lands 4S, 1400 Independence Ave., SW., Mailstop 1124, Washington, DC 20250–0003

Tata, posting at Blanton’s and Ashton’s, notes:

We have thirty days to raise a ruckus. Write to the comments address. Call your congresscritters. Demand they take positions on this matter.

The sale of these lands is ridiculous and irresponsible. They don't really belong to us. We care for them now for future Americans, our children and their children. We can't sell them to finance our failures, or we fail our future twice over.

A few phone calls. A few emails. We have thirty days, starting now.
Off you go.

And please share emails, faxes, and letters sent in comments. (Ditto for the post below.) Let’s try to make these action items fun while we attempt to save the world piece by little piece!
