250 Million Acres of Public Lands Need Your Help- Stop the Grazing Improvement Act of 2013 (S.258)

The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
is poised to move the so-called Grazing Improvement Act of 2013 (S. 258) out to the floor, legitimizing this bad idea that is nothing more than an attempt to exclude conservation interests from public lands grazing management.
If enacted, this law would:
Limit public review of grazing decisions by excluding nearly all permit renewals from National Environmental Policy Act review. Double the term-length on grazing permits to twenty years! Grant agencies unchecked authority on whether and when to review grazing permits. The Grazing “Improvement” Act would create a perfect storm that would exclude the public from grazing decision-making while perpetuating grazing impacts on thousands of grazing allotments across the West.
