Number: 1977-27
WHEREAS, the United States Forest Service has recently announced closures of national forest land to camping by reason of lack of funds for patrol and cleanup; and
WHEREAS, such closures deprive the public of the use of public land without adequate notice and opportunity to comment;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the National Wildlife Federation, in annual meeting assembled March 24-27, 1977, hereby expresses its opposition to protect the national resources, and urges the Forest Service to hold public hearings after reasonable notice prior to any closures or partial closures of forest land.
