GRAZING IMPROVEMENT ACT has passed the Senate! This is NOT a good thing!!! You contacted Congress on a bill related to grazing on public lands, and we wanted to alert you to a bill that was passed by a Senate committee last week -- and may be headed for a vote. Now is a good time to weigh in and share this email with your friends and networks. (Learn how POPVOX works.) ____________________________________________________________________________ The Grazing Improvement Act (S 258 and HR 657) A bill to amend the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 to improve the management of grazing leases and permits. On Nov. 21, the Senate Energy Committee amended the bill to continue existing policies for reviewing grazing leases, while also creating pilot programs in Oregon and New Mexico that would allow ranchers to voluntarily relinquish grazing permits to the Bureau of Land Management or the Forest Service, something long sought by conservation groups.
