027 - Skeleton
Trees, Pinyon Ridge, Colorado
How many years
can a scorched pinyon pine stand? Pinyon Ridge is not wilderness,
and is slated
for oil-exploration, so go there soon before it's gone! The
Colorado Wilderness
Network has been leading the charge to get this
Citizen-proposed
wilderness area designated a wilderness area by congress,
but the BLM
continues to sell oil and gas leases all throughout this area, ensuring
that it won't
receive wilderness protection anytime soon.
