As your constituent and a proud Coloradan, I care deeply about our public lands. From national forests to national parks, these places are central to our state’s identity and way of life. Recent efforts at the federal level to facilitate the sale of public lands put North Carolina’s and the nation’s lands—and the communities who depend on them—at serious risk. Selling off or privatizing public lands would limit public access and strip away environmental protections that safeguard our air, water, and wildlife, leaving Colorado’s communities to bear the consequences. Once our shared outdoor heritage is lost, we cannot get it back. I urge you to stand up for our public lands and reject any proposal that would sell off or privatize them.
