SUMMARY:Methow Headwaters Public Meeting on 11/13
DESCRIPTION:The Bureau of Land Management will host a public meeting in the Methow Valley on Tuesday\, November 13 @ 6PM at the Barn to gather public feedback on the proposal to approve a mineral withdrawal for the Methow Headwaters region. A mineral withdrawal would make the 340\,000 acres of U.S. Forest Service land in the Upper Methow Valley off-limits to large-scale mining for the next 20 years. The Methow Headwaters Campaign has worked hard to secure this protection and needs your voice of support at this meeting!
