He told me that the BLM is going to seek an EIR (Environmental Impact Report), which is more involved than the EA (Environmental Assessment) they previously did. The good news for us is that the EIR requires public hearings. Needless to say, we would want to mobilize everyone to attend these hearings and make their Extreme Displeasure about the the giveaway of our trails known. We don't yet know when the hearings will be, but the fall is looking likely. I will post as soon as I have more info. Meanwhile, keep writing or calling Senator Diane Feinstein and complaining about this. We (i.e. various people in the DTC) can't seem to get her office to respond, but if enough people bug them, they will have to. Keep the pressure on.
cynthia23- with the hope of keeping all of this useful and vital information organized in a single thread, I quoted your last update and included it here.
Since this is such an important topic to so many, can we post all future BLM updates to this thread?
Thanks
