What the Forest Service is proposing

Minerals and geology

To explore or develop geothermal resources on National Forest lands, the USFS must consent to lease areas nominated by the BLM. This analysis does not authorize ground disturbance, but creates stipulations for authorized leasing areas. https://usfs-public.box.com/s/r56gzyn1msyfvj8md81arv1mo15tgoso

A hunter, angler, neighbor, packer, business owner…

What ties you to this place?

Say it plainly, in your own words.

The thing you'd hate to see lost.
