After hearing about the recent court decision to not allow roads to be built in designated roadless areas inside the Little MO national grasslands I brushed up on some current badlands issues and found out about the Prairie Legacy Wilderness. I get that it would suck for ranchers that are using the grazing even though it looks like they will be made an exception to allow motorized vehicles.
It looks as though they wouldn't be able to drill for oil due to some federal rule anyway so why do we need roads there. Sure the state has the right to build on section lines when it comes to private ownership. But the feds gave them the land to start so don't they have the final say?
I am in full support of getting a wilderness designation and having these areas open to non-motorized travel only. Any reason I shouldn't join the Badlands Conservation Alliance and support this movement?
