Last Friday, the Defend EPLUS coalition showed up to help New Mexico's Game and Fish Commission members, who were meeting in Silver City, NM, understand the value of the Elk Private Land Use System. Briefly:
Lesli Allison, CEO of the Western Landowners Alliance, and other coalition leaders, addressed commissioners at a public meeting in Silver City.
- “Eliminating EPLUS and hurting landowners and their ability to care for the land will only accelerate the loss of our state’s critical habitat," Allison told the commission.
- Speakers in favor of EPLUS outnumbered opponents 3 to 1.
- We introduced this new report that lays out the benefits of the Elk Private Land Use System for rural communities, economies and all wildlife in New Mexico.
- A full media release about the new report is included below.
