El Dorado Forest Closures

August 15th, 2007

Loss of thousands of miles of roads and trail should be enough to motivate anyone who uses — or ever plans to use — Eldorado National Forest lands. Most every hunter, fisherman, and sportsman will be affected, as will casual camping users.

If you recreate on dirt roads, or use them to access your recreation…
YOU LOSE… unless you’re willing to hike in the miles you used to drive.
More than a quarter of the forest is already inaccessible (wilderness and semi-primitive) without an extensive hike. Do more public lands we need to closed from the public?

It is time for a public protest of the Eldorado National Forest Service. What does NOT protesting say?
This is a call to action. Get up off the couch, and prepare to write letters to the forest service.
