Short Description of Activity
Letters to legislators regarding HB 3135 about cutting down of Junipers.
Reflection/Evaluation
The bill in question would allow hundreds of acres of Juniper trees to be totally annihated which would impact steppe sage areas, sage grouse habitat and the biggest issue is the falsehood regarding Juniper sucking up all the water, which they can survive in places where water is not available.
