We need more protected spaces in Mesa County
I am grateful that Denver Rep. Diana DeGette continues to champion for the conservation of public lands with the reintroduction of the Colorado Wilderness Act.
In Sundayâs Daily Sentinel newspaper, Mesa County Commissioner Janet Rowland reacted to the introduction of the Colorado Wilderness Act with a misleading and inaccurate statement saying that protection of these lands would be a âslap in the face of people with disabilities because you can only access it if youâre able-bodied and can walk or hike.â I want disagree with her statement for the following reasons.
