Co-sponsored by Senator Feinstein, the PUBLIC Lands Act would protect and increase access to over 1 million acres of public lands and more than 500 miles of rivers throughout California. Specifically, the bill will designate 424 miles of new Wild and Scenic Rivers and require management plans for an additional 101 miles of existing Wild and Scenic rivers to help ensure these watersheds continue to safeguard endangered salmon and steelhead populations, recreational opportunities, and drinking water for downstream communities.
CalTrout is excited to support this monumental legislation, not only for its protection of critical lands and waters but also for its emphasis on improving equitable access to the outdoors.
