The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is steadfast in our long-standing position that public lands stay public and need to be accessible. RMEF is very concerned about the federal land sales provision included in Chairman Mike Lee’s energy and natural resources section of the pending budget reconciliation bill and will continue to work to remove that measure from the legislation. We have shared these concerns with Sen. Lee’s office, and we joined 43 other organizations in expressing the need to keep federal public land sales out of the bill in a letter to Senate leadership a week ago. Our government affairs team was in Washington, D.C., this week meeting with members of Congress and the administration to affirm the importance of increasing access to public hunting lands. Our lobbyists continue to be engaged, and we encourage our members to contact their senators to express their opinions about selling two million acres of BLM and national forest lands across the West.
