Black bear in the Assignation Ridge Proposed Wilderness Area |
If we want Rep. Tipton to support Hidden Gems legislation then we need to show overwhelming support for the proposal, because he's definitely hearing from the small minority who oppose it! Lots of supporters showing up to say how important our wildlands are is vitally important to counter the few who disagree.
If you have any questions please call Will Roush (Pitkin County) at 970-963-3977 or Laura Yale (Gunnison County) at 970-456-2373.
