Public lands

“Protecting our existing public lands and time-honored tradition of access to private lands is critical to sustaining Maine’s way of life for current and future generations. The purchase of large tracts of Maine land from out-of-state buyers threatens our outdoor economies and way of life.”

“To safeguard New Hampshire’s outdoors for future generations, Chris came together with Republicans to help pass the Great American Outdoors Act, the most significant nature conservation legislation in decades.”

“Once referred to as one of the “fiercest and most effective” opponents of the Clinton administration, I won a victory for access to forest lands involving the illegal Roadless Rule.”

“The United States Forest Service has been mismanaging our forest lands for years, resulting in catastrophic fires, horrific insect outbreaks, the fouling of our watersheds, and devastating losses to our local communities. The fact is that bad land management decisions destroy our environment, and in a state like Wyoming where almost 50% of our surface real estate is owned by the federal government, we suffer more than most. It is long past time that we held the United States Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management accountable for their actions. We need leaders in Washington who know how these agencies work, and who have the background and experience to actually enforce multiple-use laws and requirements.”
