Please help protect the King Range National Conservation Area!
Deadline: April 16, 2004
 The
King Range National Conservation Area (NCA) in Humboldt and Mendocino counties,
part of California's famous Lost Coast, is the longest stretch of roadless and
undeveloped coastline in the United States outside of Alaska. The Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) is seeking public input on its draft management plan for
the King Range. This document will guide the BLM's management of the NCA for
the next decade or more.
Under the draft plan, about 30% of the portion of the NCA that is proposed as wilderness by Senator Barbara Boxer and Representative Mike Thompson will be open to post-fire logging, road construction, and other activities that could decrease the area's wild character.
We need your help to protect the future King Range Wilderness!
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Please write the BLM by April 16, 2004 and request that Senator Boxer's and Representative Thompson's proposed King Range Wilderness be managed in its entirety as backcountry. Specifically ask that logging and road construction be prohibited in the proposed wilderness.
Feel free to share any other suggested management improvements you may have, and to explain why the King Range is important to you.
