As a sportsman and public lands user, I join Wyoming Backcountry Hunters & Anglers in urging the Wyoming State Board of Land Commissioners to vote NO on the Bonander land exchange, which as proposed would result in the loss of legal public access to more than 4,200 acres in the Laramie Range. In addition, the proposed exchange would isolate more than 3,000 additional acres of prime public elk and mule deer habitat and completely eliminate one of only two access points to 10,000 additional acres of public lands in the Laramie Range. I urge the Office of State Lands & Investments to find an alternative to consolidate land in the Black Hills-Moskee area while maintaining access for public lands users.
