Colorado BHA: Support for Public Land Conservation Funding

The Land & Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) provides critical funding for public access to public lands, as well as critical conservation projects.  For example, in 2013 LWCF funds were used to purchase 920 acres of publicly accessible land along the Yampa River, which now provides sportsmen access to tens of thousands of acres of prime backcountry elk and deer habitat in the adjacent Cross Mountain Wilderness Study Area (WSA).  From the Dominguez Escalante National Conservation Area to the ...

Some of these lands are famous while others are obscure "secret spots." They include trout streams, ...
