Proposed New Land Restrictions

[mn90403]

Land is being removed from prospecting all of the time these days and here is a proposal to remove a lot of it in one big chunk.  We've already had much of this same desert area restricted so I say enough for now.  Here are some details:

 

This proposal by the National Park Conservation Association and CALWILDS will eliminate desert mining for well over 100 active mining claims, as well as restrict recreation on hundreds of square miles of SoCal desert. If you enjoy recreation of all types and mining in our desert between the Coachella Valley and the Colorado River, to include the Eagle Mountains, please help stop this effort. The proposal was submitted to Congressman Raul Ruiz (CA-25) in September 2023 for consideration. Tell Congressman Ruiz that you do NOT support this proposal by signing this petition.

Thank you for posting this latest insanity.
Conservation begins with big corporations, not recreational miners.
Every person I know who does what we do is ultra-aware of the fragility of the desert.
I hope everyone who reads this will sign the petition.
If we don't it's gonna disappear.
