Oregon Outdoor Recreation Leaders Push for Lawmakers to Protect All Public Lands

The group wants Senator Wyden in particular to support the state's outdoor recreation economy.

 

Liz Hamitlon is with the Northwest Sportfishing Industries Association.

 

"Well I think there's some nervousness about discussions in congress about selling public lands and using them not in ways intended.  And we wanted to remind senators of all the jobs tied to the publc lands in Oregon."

 

They are concerned legislation introduced in the House of Representatives would allow for large scale logging and limit the use of many environmental measures.
