Editor’s Note: This group formed during a community meeting in Pinedale on April 30, 2009 to oppose H.R. 980-Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (NREPA), proposed legislation which would add 24-million additional acres of public land in five states in the northern Rockies under federal wilderness protection. The proposed bill would increase wilderness acreage in Sublette County significantly on the Bridger-Teton National Forest and Bureau of Land Management lands.
