Gunnison Land Protection: New Wilderness Areas and Vehicle Restrictions in Colorado.
This Act designates hundreds of thousands of acres of federal land in Colorado as protected areas for conservation, wildlife, and recreation. For citizens, this means permanent protection of these landscapes from mining and commercial logging, but also introduces strict limitations on the use of off-highway vehicles and bicycles on many trails. Seasonal closures will be implemented to safeguard wildlife habitats.
