PEER: NEW PARK SERVICE E-BIKE ORDER INVALID - NPS Edict Violates Federal Laws and Misinterprets Interior Directive
"A new National Park Service
order allowing electric bicycles on park trails violates several federal
laws, according to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility
(PEER) which is threatening to sue any park that implements it.
Significantly, the acting NPS Director, who issued the order, did not
follow the instructions given by the Secretary of Interior."
Theft of our public lands - "The
Interior Department is transferring public lands (CA, AZ, NM) to the
Pentagon for construction of about 70 miles of border wall, in a move likely to ratchet up controversy over one of the Trump administration’s signature projects.
The
action by Interior Secretary David Bernhardt moves jurisdiction over
about 560 acres currently overseen by the Bureau of Land Management to
the U.S. Army, which will use it to construct barriers the president has
said will help secure the nation’s southern border against illegal
migration."
FWP to pay for CWD testing statewide

Montana Constitution Mandates Bison Restoration by Jim Bailey
"We argue that the Montana Constitution mandates restoration of public, wild bison in our state.
There are no public, wild bison, year-round, in Montana – not by the legal definition of wild bison, nor by a biological definition of wildness. (Wild Bison and the Law)"

recommending restoration of public, wild bison on the CMR National
Wildlife Refuge, fulfilling a mandate of our Montana state Constitution.
