In the past hour, Senator and Congressman Salazar have introduced the Dominguez Escalate National Conservation Area legislation. This bill will protect over 210,000 acres within a National Conservation Area with over 75,000 acres of Wilderness protection for the Dominguez Canyons.
Earlier this week, WCC sent four members to Washington DC to urge lawmakers to introduce strong protections for this area. We’d like to think that we made a difference by representing our members in the halls of congress. Look for updates from Joan, Tony and Monica in the next few days – we can all be proud of them for representing us in our nation’s capitol.
We’ll have more information and a detailed map of the proposal up on this site in the next few days. Congratulations to everyone at WCC for all your hard work to make this legislation a reality!
