twitterLetter: Sensitive areas need protection
Wednesday, April 11, 2001 | 8:22 a.m.
I am writing in response to Kristen Peterson's April 2 article, "Taking it outside: Organization fights to preserve ecologically sensitive area." Southern Nevada is such an amazing and beautiful place.
There are many wonderful areas nearby that make one proud to live in Southern Nevada. These areas are under pressure from a growing population. It is important that future generations have wild and natural areas for themselves to enjoy. One way to assure that they do is through designating some of the public lands as wilderness.
This designation will free up the land from irresponsible use and will allow future generations the opportunity that we have today to experience the magnificent areas surrounding the valley. I encourage our Nevada congressional delegates to do all they can to help protect the wild places in Southern Nevada.
