Zinke: In Recent Years, ‘We’ve Seen Single Monuments Span Tens of Millions of Acres’

‘In some cases, monument designations have placed public lands off-limits for grazing, fishing, mining, multiple use, and even outdoor recreation’

EXCERPT:

ZINKE: "As an example, Teddy Roosevelt, president that I deeply admire. His first monument, the Devils Tower in Wyoming was about 1200 acres. Yet, in recent years, we’ve seen single monuments span tens of millions of acres. In some cases, monument designations have placed public lands off-limits for grazing, fishing, mining, multiple use, and even outdoor recreation."
