Segment 1: Wild Lands

One of the hottest topics we have covered to date has been the Wild Lands Initiative by the Department of Interior. This would take un-designated lands that may have wilderness characteristic and allow the Bureau of Land Management to manage them like they are wilderness until such time as the Congress can figure out what to do with them. This has many of the Utah Counties and the State of Utah concerned, so much so that they passed a law to counter the Wild Land Initiative. Next week we will be covering that topic in a very special round table. And to bring you up to speed we thought that it would be important to re-visit the Wild Lands Initiative so that those
of you who missed the first airing will fully understand it.
