Posted on: In recognition of Wilderness Society’s work

Thanks to the Wilderness Society and to Nevadans who have spent many, many days volunteering in support of conservation for our wild lands. I'm a BLM retiree, and I can tell you that nothing would be saved without those citizen efforts.

Posted on: Off-road vehicle legislation advances, faces veto

It's a good bill and long overdue. The Governor thinks everybody's out of step but him.

Posted on: Protecting the wilderness

Yes, this is a wise measure. I'm a retiree from the Bureau of Land Management, and I saw how field managers were under constant pressure to allow developments that would damage the public lands. Wilderness designation gives them the backbone to say no.

Posted on: Gold Butte deserves high-level protection

I worked for BLM for half my career and saw how field managers are under constant pressure to allow more development. Wilderness designation will strengthen their hand in protecting Gold Butte, so we can enjoy it in the future.

Posted on: Gold Butte’s natural beauty under seige

I spent half my career as a BLM employee and saw the pressures on their field managers to allow more ORVs, more roads, more development. Wilderness designation strengthens the hand of those managers to protect wild lands. Gold Butte deserves this protection.
