In April of 2006 AAPL Advocates for
Access to Public Lands started a
word of mouth campaign to federally legislate a land designation to
preserve multiple use lands. The concept of the Semi Primitive BackCountry Recreation Designation took off like wildfire & within
ten months signed resolutions were received from almost every
Chamber of Commerce, Board of Supervisors, Indian tribe, &
recreation group within Mono & Inyo Counties.
We hope you will become part of the
campaign & help us gather support to convince our federal
legislators that a legislated designation ensuring continued
multiple use of public lands is necessary and timely to provide an
alternative to more restrictive designations which greatly reduce or
totally eliminate existing motorized & non-motorized recreation.
This new federal designation will also preserve existing renewable
resource harvesting, grazing, active land management & handicapped
access.
ALERT
Recently numerous pieces of legislation
have been introduced in the house & senate proposing to designate
vast amounts of inappropriate Wilderness (27,000,000 acres), which
would close thousands of miles of existing roads & trails. Unless
people like you take action now, there is likely to be little or no
recreation access on your public lands.
ACTION ITEMS

Ask then to ask other organizations to join the campaign
to preserve access to our public lands
