Colorado public land advocates say Interior Department review of highly protective wilderness policies ‘is laying the groundwork for an attack’

In Colorado, a significant amount of public land is affected by a recent review. Over one million acres are involved, including areas near Aspen.

These lands have strong environmental protections in place. They are off-limits to certain human activities, preserving their natural state.

Further details about the review and its potential impact are available from the Glenwood Springs Post Independent.
