GUNNISON PUBLIC LANDS INITIATIVE  

The Gunnison Public Lands Initiative was launched by Senator Bennet to take a much more expansive view of protecting public lands in that area. Citizen groups are looking at lands throughout the County that are deserving of legislative protection, from wilderness to a basic mineral withdrawal. This effort was led by the County and Sen. Bennet’s office and coordinated by a public lands advocate. The effort convened a diverse group of stakeholders including mountain bikers, ranchers, motorized users, hunters and water providers as well as conservationists.

WW helped launch this initiative and is staying engaged as it gains momentum. To learn more, visit https://www.gunnisonpubliclands.org/
