John Muir once said, "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
Nature gives us places to think, landscapes to admire, and a natural playground to roam -- but do we give it the protection it needs? The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) can help protect America's wilderness, but we must act to restore their power.
The BLM cares for public lands and helps designate wilderness areas for Congress to safeguard. But during the Bush Administration, a policy reversal took away this power, and the BLM is no longer identifying these potential lands for protection. Without this protection, America's beloved wilderness is vulnerable to development and destruction.
You can help preserve America's pristine wilderness landscape by asking Secretary Salazar to restore the BLM's wilderness inventory process. Give federal public lands a fighting chance, and protect nature's pure beauty: with help from the BLM, we can be hiking, swimming, biking, and enjoying the wilderness in other ways for generations to come.
