BLM land acquisition in central WY - opportunity to comment

[Bull_n_heat]

Just wanted to get the word out that BLM is in the process of acquiring about 30,000 acres in central Wyoming that is currently privately owned. The acquisition would also open up about the same acreage in public lands too. The property is on the North Platte River downstream of Alcova Reservoir, and would be an awesome spot to hunt/fish. They are currently seeking input for this process, so if you would like to weigh in on this, the link is below. (My comment was a single sentence about how I think BLM should complete this acquisition because it would greatly expand public access to valuable recreational lands in central Wyoming)

If you are interested in some more background information on this property, here is a good story about it (I'm sure associated links have additional info as well):

Update on the Marton Ranch - The BLM released its remand of the decision which stands. There are 45 + pages of public comment, almost entirely in support of the acquisition. I'm excited to explore 70,000 of newly accessible public land in Wyoming thanks to this acquisition.
