Say NO to Mike Lee's 'Borderlands Conservation Act.' Its very title is backwards language. It would be devasting. It would open all federal lands within 100 miles of the U.S. border to roads, buildings, and motorized access. This encompasses the entire Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Superior National Forest. Consider the damage it would do: If passed, the Border Lands Conservation Act would: • Gut key Wilderness Act protections • Allow new roads, buildings, and motorized vehicle use in protected Wilderness areas • Station DHS agents in Wilderness areas as it deems necessary • Sideline the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management • Invite destructive development into one of our nation's most pristine landscapes. This is not preservation or conservation. It is desecration and destruction of a precious, even a sacred legacy: the splendor of unspoiled wilderness. Speak out against this bill. Do not allow it to advance. Do not allow precious wild areas to be pillaged and destroyed on your watch. Please oppose Senator Lee's bill vehemently and publicly
