Stop the US Forest Service from trading land to private developers without public comment.


Stop the US Forest Service from trading land to private developers without public comment.
The Issue
The US Forest Service is attempting to trade 160 acres our public recreational land to a local developer for residential use with out any comment or discussion. As it stands the law does not require that the Government investigate the impact that a trade like this would have on the local residents. Not to mention the stress it could cause on the local infrastructure. Development will permanently eliminate public access to hikers,bicyclists, ATV riders, sportsman, recreation enthusiasts and, in short, everyone in our community. This project would permanently adversely affect our quality of life. We value this undeveloped land and want it to stay just the way it is, free and open to the public. The property in question is on the east bench of Bountiful, Utah in the Twin Hollows area. Locally known as Cheese Park.
