The Wilderness Society: Keep Roan Plateau Free of Gas Drilling Rigs
October 3rd, 2006 10:40 pm by KellyKeep Roan Plateau Free of Gas Drilling Rigs
The spectacular Roan Plateau, located in western Colorado, is a land of broad and rolling hills, stunning box canyons, rare plant species, and wildlife such as elk, black bear and mountain lion.
Astoundingly, the BLM has announced a management plan that puts drilling for natural gas ahead of other values of the Roan, including wildlife protection and recreation. But we still have a chance to turn this decision around. Please tell the BLM to revise the management plan to provide the highest protection for this very special place. Deadline is Monday, October 16.
