"President Trump Quietly Signs Largest Wilderness Preservation Bill in a Decade
President Donald Trump this week signed a massive wilderness preservation bill that sets aside 1.3 million acres of federal land in California, Oregon, Utah and New Mexico as wilderness. Land designed as wilderness cannot be used for logging, oil drilling or mining.
Trump’s signature of the bill drew support from Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a frequent critic of Trump. “I thank President Trump for signing our lands package into law.
His effort to achieve energy dominance for our nation while simultaneously working with us to create a conservation legacy with this lands package exceeds the accomplishments of his recent predecessors,” Murkowski said in a statement.
“This law will benefit every state and clear the deck of issues that we’ve been working to resolve for years.
From providing access for sportsmen to creating new economic opportunities for local communities, this is a good, balanced measure.
We built it through a team effort that drew strong support from both parties in both chambers. Today is a triumph for good process and good policy, and this bill is a win for Alaskans and all Americans,” she said"
