Our public lands need your voice.

The Senate Energy & Natural Resources (SENR) Committee is pushing forward a budget proposal that includes a massive public land sell-off — potentially the largest in U.S. history. This isn’t just federal red tape. It’s millions of acres of public land on the chopping block — including cherished places right here in Fremont County.

What’s at risk in our backyard:

• BLM section of Sinks Main Wall

• Parcels spanning the North Fork to Suicide Point, including Shoshone Lake

• A massive chunk of the Loop Road, including land surrounding Christina Lake

These public lands are not excess, they are essential to climbing, recreation, wildlife, watersheds, and tribal access. Selling them off could mean permanent loss of access here and across the country.

What You Can Do:

Contact your Senators — things to include: Why these public lands are important to you, trading access to outdoor recreation for short-term economic gain is not acceptable, that National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is an essential environmental law that ensures public input, and that it fails to give sovereign Tribal nations first right of refusal. The federal budget reconciliation process is NOT the place for federal land disposals no matter the content and that this provision needs to be removed from the ENR committee proposal.
