Please make the calls to fight this !!
Last Monday on January 7, 2001 several staffers from California's
Senator
Dianne Feinstein's office collaborated with Paul Spitler the Executive
Director of the California Wilderness Coalition and Eldon Hughes of the
Sierra Club.
These folks personally filled a couple of BLM vehicles, driven by BLM
staff
to visit, and begin the process of designating the listed WSA's to
become
Wilderness. Mr. Spitler mentioned at the National Trails Symposium held
in
Redding, Calif (Sept. 2000) , that 14,000,000 acres of Wilderness in
California is not enough. He further stated that an additional
