Help! Please take a moment and call Representative Denny Rehberg’s office in Billings on Monday, January 25 at 1-888-232-2626 or his Washington DC office at 1-202-225-3211. Tell whoever answers, that you want the meeting between Senator Tester and Denny Rehberg to discuss their findings on the Beaverhead Deer Lodge National Forest to be held in Butte, Montana not Missoula. Missoula is where Tester has strong pro wilderness support.
Butte is surrounded by the BHDL Forest, is large enough to accommodate such a meeting and has a commercial airport. The Beaverhead Deer Lodge Forest (over 3 million acres) is vastly larger than the proposed wilderness in Seely Lake or the Three Rivers areas in the Kootenai National Forest. Tester’s office says it is more convenient to have it in Missoula but we have far more to lose and he has strong support for wilderness in Missoula. While you are on the phone please tell them you do not want anymore wilderness in Montana but especially in the West Pioneers. Remember you have just lost 76,775 acres in the East Pioneers.
Thank You for taking two minutes to try to keep all the West Pioneers open to snowmobiling. Tester’s Bill would place over 25,000 acres into wilderness including Stine Mountain, Kelly Cabin, Lost Horse, Grouse Lake, Lambrecht Creek & Bobcat Lakes in the West Pioneers.
