The Bureau of Land Management has proposed to lease another stunning, wild Colorado landscape for oil and gas development. This time it's South Shale Ridge in western Colorado, part of the citizens' proposal for Colorado wilderness.

This proposal to lease violates a three-year BLM promise that it would thoroughly consider the best information, including a recent wilderness inventory and two years' of hard work by citizens, before deciding to lease. The agency has released an environmental assessment of the proposal for public comment. The deadline is Thursday, August 12. Please take a moment today to let the agency know that you want this deserving wilderness protected!
