Dear Representative Lamborn,
I am writing to urge your support for Browns Canyon Wilderness. Senate Bill 3066 helps to preserve this cherished area for hunting, recreation, wildlife and tourism.
Browns Canyon is home to bighorn sheep, elk, deer, bear, mountain lions, golden eagles, and great-horned owl. The rugged landscape of canyons and deep gulches provides stunning views for visitors, as well as an ideal setting for hiking, rock climbing, hunting, rafting, skiing and fishing. The wilderness proposal is well-supported, with local government, recreation enthusiasts, civic organizations, sportsmen and conservationists all lining up to back it.
Thank you for lending your time to protect this unique piece of Colorado.
Sincerely,
Your Name
