Tell the BLM that aircraft use at Keg Knoll in the Tell the BLM that aircraft use at Keg Knoll in the Labyrinth Canyon Wilderness is unnecessary and unlawful! Link in bio.

Backcountry airstrips and aircraft use conflict with the reasons most people seek out wilderness in the first place: solitude, natural soundscapes, wildlife, and an experience of remoteness that often can’t be found on other public lands.

The BLM is preparing an environmental assessment (EA) and is intending to issue a decision in mid-May. At the Trump administration’s direction, the agency is not planning to release a draft EA to the public or hold a formal public comment period—so please submit your comments as soon as possible.

Just now the U.S. Senate voted 50-49, passing H.J. Just now the U.S. Senate voted 50-49, passing H.J. Res. 140, which overturns a 20-year mining ban in the headwaters of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Northern Minnesota, the most visited wilderness area in America.
