Zoning and planning for rural areas and small towns can be confusing for municipalities, landowners and others. Take part in the WKREDA Second Quarter Meeting starting tomorrow at BriefSpace in Hays for an interactive panel on this complex subject. https://rebrand.ly/vymt6c8

Congress just passed its spending bills for land management agencies, and they include significant cuts to our parks and public lands. • The National Park Service will see a $150M cut, including in overall operations and for National Recreation and Preservation Areas. • The BLM is getting an $81M reduction to its budget, including cuts for National Conservation Lands. • The Forest Service will get a $157M cut which will affect recreation, forest planning, and trails. Adequate funding is crucial for things like staffing, processing permits and reservations, trail maintenance, restoration, and more. With outdoor recreation participation continuing to grow, land managers need more resources, not less, to sustainably care for our public lands. Outdoor Alliance and our member groups will be advocating for stronger appropriations bills for our public lands. Individuals can also make a difference by writing their members of Congress. https://lnkd.in/gY7p7Q3Y

Federal funding for the past 20 years has seen a tremendous shift in funding. Yet our demands for increased outdoor recreation, balanced with a strong sense of concervation is at risk. More and more people are using a limited poorly managed resource that is having budgets slashed. It is time to have the feds step aside and allow more local management. We need new innovative ways to manage our wild spaces or put up more closed signs… https://ppora.org/oppi

The National Park Service is a tiny slice of our federal budget—less than one fifteenth of one percent.

Attacking public lands is bad for business. A set of bills is being considered by the state legislature that attack our public lands as we know them. The bills threaten our state’s $21.1 billion outdoor recreation economy, infringe on private property rights, and overlook the economic benefits of public lands. Simply put – they’re bad for business and bad for our outdoor recreation communities. We hope the legislature votes NO on any bill threatening Arizona’s public lands and instead invests in our state’s incredible public lands and outdoor recreation opportunities.

https://lnkd.in/ePUVkWGy The reason Crow cost so much to put in place was because it granted people access only to certain landscape types: mountains, moorland, heaths, downs and commons. This meant civil servants had to spend five years and millions of pounds mapping those landscapes, and then responding to thousands of appeals from landowners disputing the maps. It was much cheaper to implement the Scottish laws, which exempted only private gardens and fields where crops were growing. Guy Shrubsole from the Right to Roam campaign, who uncovered the figures, said: “When Labour was last in power in both England and Scotland, it expanded the public’s access to nature in both nations – but it chose a more sensible and cost-effective approach in Scotland. Not only do Scots enjoy a far better system of access rights than we do in England, it was also cheaper to implement.
