"The U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which manages federal land and its resources, recently announced its intention to sell oil and gas leases in June for parcels totaling more than 43,000 acres in Alabama’s national forests. Most of the parcels are in the Talladega National Forest in central and eastern Alabama, including Calhoun County. One parcel is in Conecuh National Forest in the southern part of the state."

We believe that the national forests of Alabama and all over the nation should be preserved for future generations. We believe that drilling for oil/gas in these national forests would cause irreparable damage environmentally to these protected areas. We believe it is an outrage to sell out our future for the purpose of economic growth!
