The
Wildlands Project The
Wildlands Project is the plan to eliminate human presence on “at least” 50
percent of the American landscape and to heavily control human activity on
most of the rest of American land. Examples of the piece-by-piece
implementation of the Wildlands Project include road closings, the policy of
breaching dams undertaken by the Clinton administration, and the adoption of
United Nations World Heritage Sites — which are systematically being closed
to recreational use. “Conservation biologists now agree
that protecting isolated pockets of habitat isn’t enough to protect our
bears, jaguars, beavers, birds and other wildlife — the only way to protect
them is to practice conservation on a continental scale,” announced Wildlands Project
Executive Director Leanne Klyza Linck at the Society of Environmental
Journalists Conference on September 12, 2003.
The most significant tool of the Wildlands Project is the rapidly
expanding imposition of habitat “protection” provisions of the Endangered Species
Act and various “conservation easements” and direct land acquisitions from
battered “willing sellers.” The
Wildlands Project seeks to collectivize all natural resources (e.g. water)
and centralize all use decisions under government direction, often
implemented through public- private partnerships entered into with government
insiders. |

Northern California
Coastal Wild Heritage Wilderness Act (permanently
preserve 300,000 acres along California's northern coast as wilderness) Is Agenda
21 THE BRBNA IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF OUR
GOVERNMENT INSTALLING THE TENETS OF AGENDA 21 How
Congressman Mike Thompson (D – St. Helena), Senator Barbara Boxer (D) and
Senator Diane Feinstein (D) are responsible for the actions taken to remove
people from their homes, close down private recreational sites and close off
public lands to any type of transportation except your feet. They
committed these acts when they all colluded to pass The Northern California Coastal Wild
Heritage Wilderness Act (S. 738) (HR 1501) which would permanently preserve
300,000 acres along California's northern coast as wilderness. The
Northern California Coastal Wild Heritage Wilderness Act was introduced in March 2004. The latest major action with this
bill occurred on July 21, 2004 when the Committee on Energy and Natural
Resources Subcommittee on Public Lands and Forests held hearings. The
BLM Lands within the BRBNA (Blue
Ridge Berryessa Natural Area) that are proposed for wilderness designation
under this bill include: • Blue Ridge Proposed Wilderness (760 acres in Napa County,
Ukiah Field Office [FO] of the Bureau of Land Management [BLM]): The Blue
Ridge Trail offers an astounding profusion of wildflowers and views as far
south as Yosemite and as far north as Mount Shasta. Outstanding winter,
spring and fall hiking close to the Bay Area and Sacramento. • Cache Creek Proposed Wilderness (38,960 acres in Lake County,
Ukiah FO of the BLM): Hosts the second largest wintering bald eagle
population in California. Offers outstanding hiking, horseback riding and
whitewater boating opportunities. • Cedar Roughs Proposed Wilderness
(5,880 acres in Napa County, Ukiah FO of the BLM): Shelters the largest grove
in the world of the rare Sargent cypress. The Northern California Coastal Wild Heritage
Wilderness Act, a U.S. federal law enacted in 2006, enlarged existing
wilderness boundaries and created new wilderness areas for protection under
the National Wilderness Preservation System. These newly-designated protected
wilderness areas help safeguard habitat for more than 250 endangered species
including the California Condor, bald eagle, and the bristlecone pine, the
oldest living trees on earth. It also added Wild and
Scenic status to sections of the Black Butte River,
created the Cow Mountain Recreation Area and designated the Elkhorn Ridge
Potential Wilderness Area. The
Act was sponsored by Representative Mike Thompson and Senators Barbara Boxer
and Dianne Feinstein, and was signed into law on October 17, 2006.
LAKE BERRYESSA Expiration of the
existing contracts presents the opportunity to implement government policy
prohibiting exclusive use of public recreation land and to broaden the range
of interests served by including more nature-based recreation. (Appendix D BRBNA Lands by Ownership
Page D2) From
Range Magazine quoting property owners around BRBNA: There are others at
that big square of tables who are also property owners—ranchers, orchard
growers, local equipment operators, No one, Krauss insists, who need have any
worry about the BRBNA. Yet, at the big table they are not considered property
owners as much as they are "stakeholders" just like the students,
the environmentalists, the tribe, and the federal-land representatives who
have an equal place in the discussion. It is difficult to get
a full grasp of the BRBNA, like reaching for a handful of foam. The group is
guided by five principal objectives, including preservation of regional
natural and cultural values, support of "sustainable" economic
development, respect of landowner's rights and encouragement of non-growth
recreation on public lands. It is the fifth of
those "principal objectives" that bothers Vicki. "Consider all
positions on an Issue but only support those where the partnership has
reached consensus" That word consensus
again. No vote counting, no majority, but a degree of peer pressure that
works best when everybody gets around a big table and agrees they love the
place enough to show it. Enough, Vicki
fears, to create an "Agriculture Park" spread over private and
public lands under the umbrella of an unelected consensus. "What that would
do is simply encumber farms and ranches, maybe not into a park, but a virtual
park where we would own the land, but be told what we can do on it and with
it" Vicki says. "That's serfdom, and it erases property
rights." AGENDA 21 In
1992, the IUCN authored Agenda 21 adopted in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at the UN Earth Summit Conference on
Environment and Development. Agenda 21 is an official policy list designed to
reorganize societies around environmental priorities utilizing local
government for implementation via ordinances.
The US is signatory to this international treaty with over 100 other
countries. What is IUCN? The
IUCN was founded in October 1948 as the International Union for the
Protection of Nature (or IUPN) following an international conference in
Fontainebleau, France. The
organization changed its name to the International Union for Conservation of
Nature and Natural Resources in 1956 with the acronym IUCN Use
of the name “World Conservation Union”, in conjunction with IUCN, began in
1990. From March 2008 this name is no longer commonly used. IUCN, International Union for
Conservation of Nature, helps the world find pragmatic solutions to our most
pressing environment and development challenges. It supports scientific
research, manages field projects all over the world and brings governments,
non-government organizations, United
Nations agencies, companies and local communities together to develop and
implement policy, laws and best practice.
http://www.iucn.org/about
The enlisting of protected areas is the
fundamental strategy being used towards the conservation of the world's
natural environment and biodiversity. The International Union for the
Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has developed the Protected Area Management
Categories System to define, record and classify the
wide variety of specific aims and concerns when categorizing protected areas
and their objectives. This categorization method is recognized on a global
scale by national governments and international bodies such as the United
Nations and the Convention on Biological Diversity. WIKIPEDIA Wilderness areas are subject to specific
management restrictions; human activities are restricted to non-motorized
recreation (such as backpacking, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, etc.),
scientific research, and other non-invasive activities. In general, the law
prohibits logging, mining, roads, mechanized vehicles (including bicycles),
and other forms of development. The Wilderness Act is the legal basis for the
National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). Wilderness areas fall in to
IUCN protected area management category 1a (Strict Nature Preserves) or 1b
(Wilderness areas). 1a Strict Nature
Reserve Category 1a are strictly protected areas set
aside to protect biodiversity and also possibly geological/geomorphical
features, where human visitation, use and impacts are strictly controlled and
limited to ensure protection of the conservation values. Such protected areas
can serve as indispensable reference areas for scientific research and
monitoring 1b Wilderness Area Category 1b protected areas are usually large
unmodified or slightly modified areas, retaining their natural character and
influence, without permanent or significant human habitation, which are
protected and managed so as to preserve their natural condition. Primary objective To protect the long-term ecological integrity
of natural areas that are undisturbed by significant human activity, free of
modern infrastructure and where natural forces and processes predominate, so
that current and future generations have the opportunity to experience such
areas. Distinguishing features The area should generally: Be free of modern infrastructure, development
and industrial extractive activity, including but not limited to roads,
pipelines, power lines, cellphone towers, oil and gas platforms, offshore
liquefied natural gas terminals, other permanent structures, mining,
hydropower development, oil and gas extraction, agriculture including
intensive livestock grazing, commercial fishing, low-flying aircraft
etc., preferably with highly restricted or no motorized access. Be free of inappropriate
or excessive human use or presence, which will decrease wilderness values and
ultimately prevent an area from meeting the biological and cultural criteria
listed above. http://www.iucn.org/about/work/programmes/pa/pa_products/wcpa_categories/pa_category1b/
NATIONAL PARK SERVICE CLOSES DRAKES BAY OYSTER CO
In
November 1972, the Johnson family sold their five acres of shoreline to the federal
government for $79,200 and signed a 40-year lease that permitted a narrow
range of business options, such as “the interpretation of oyster cultivation
to the visiting public,” and was renewable as long as any future permit was
“in accordance with National Park Service Regulations in effect at the time
the reservation expires.” In 2005, Johnson sold that permit to Lunny, who
cleaned up and rebranded the old farm and dubbed it the Drakes Bay Oyster
Company. Environmental
Action Committee of West Marin (EAC) and the National Parks Conservation
Association, fought to have the estuary converted to “full wilderness,” a
sacrosanct designation that prohibits oystering, along with any other
mechanized or motorized interference with the subtler designs of nature. In
November 2012, Salazar ruled against the farm, citing simple reasons: The
lease was up; he had no obligation to renew it; and, he argued, the farm
violated park policies for commercial activities within the National Park
System. http://www.newsweek.com/2015/01/30/oyster-shell-game-300225.html
Just
like Drake’s Bay Oyster Company before it, Tomales Bay Oyster Company is fighting to stay open. The Marin
County Community Development Agency ordered the popular picnic and
oyster farm to significantly reduce its opening hours, cut its staff by more
than half and remove all 84 picnic spots (grills and tables) by October 11,
SFist reported. The order effectively reduces Tomales Bay, located five miles
north of Point Reyes in Marshall, to an oyster vendor. http://sf.eater.com/2015/10/1/9437199/tomales-bay-oyster-company-forced-remove-picnic-area-marshall BUSH ADMIN. ATTACKS PRIVATE PROPERTY AND
RECREATION American
Land Rights Association: The people of Lake
Berryessa are living under the sword of eviction! Recreation users at
Lake Berryessa are being cut off from access, use and recreational choice. Property rights are
being taken away from the people of Lake Berryessa. They are throwing out
over 1300 property owners of manufactured housing and thousands of recreation
users. Lake Berryessa is the
second largest motorized recreation lake in Northern California. It is
man-made. Yet the BOR wants to turn it into a Wilderness lake. Utter
nonsense. There is an
anti-recreation bias in several Federal agencies. The BOR is taking the lead
in getting rid of exclusive use. That means they really want “No Use.” That’s
the new code word. “No Exclusive Use.” When they cut off
access and get rid of motorized recreation and the homes around the lake,
then the lake will largely belong to the special interest groups. The Forest Service is
trying to do the same thing in other places. All users must stand together
and fight for the people of Lake Berryessa. If the Bureau of
Reclamation gets away with this atrocity, then everyone who uses a recreation
lake or has a permit on other Federal lands will be far less safe. Other
Federal agencies will see that they can get away with removing users too.
Lake Berryessa is important to you. It will set the standard. http://www.landrights.org/ActionAlerts/alra-10af03667ad8.html
WASHINGTON POST STAFF WRITER - FRIDAY, JUNE 24,
2005 The Supreme Court ruled
yesterday that local governments may force property owners to sell out and
make way for private economic development when officials decide it would
benefit the public, even if the property is not blighted and the new
project's success is not guaranteed. The 5 to 4 ruling provided
the strong affirmation that state and local governments had sought for their
increasing use of eminent domain for urban revitalization, especially in the
Northeast, where many city centers have decayed and the suburban land supply
is dwindling. Opponents, including
property-rights activists and advocates for elderly and low-income urban
residents, argued that forcibly shifting land from one private owner to
another, even with fair compensation, violates the Fifth Amendment to the
Constitution, which prohibits the taking of property by government except for
"public use." Welcome to serfdom. You may own the
land but "they" will control it. You take the money,
"they" own you. So
one can see why natural resources will be in short supply. When 50% of the United States is designated
“Wilderness” no access will be allowed even to harvest “natural resources”.
Shortages are being engineered strictly to control human activity and they
are using a bogus reason “climate change” as a tool to entice folks to accept
this tyranny. WILD FIRES &
ADA In
a report from the National Parks Association addressing the ADA and
Americans’ with disabilities it said; - non motorized wheel chairs were acceptable
in Wilderness Areas but there would not be any special access provided. In
the case of wild fires the Park Service would only allow motorized fire
suppression equipment into fight a fire if private property or life was under
imminent threat. Otherwise suppression would be done by aircraft or on foot. |

CALIFORNIA
FOOTHILLS LEGACY AREA (3.4
million acres statewide) Is Agenda
21 “A massive federal government
land-conservation plan carries potential to affect about half of San Benito
County's total acreage - nearly 500,000 acres locally and 3.4 million
statewide - while aiming to set aside rangeland deemed as crucial habitat for
threatened and endangered species, according to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service document. The "California
Foothills Legacy Area" proposal involves the offering of land easements
to willing property owners. The federal government would pay those residents
in exchange for maintaining their properties' agricultural activities while
forbidding development and working to help preserve nearly 200 endangered or
threatened species identified as likely inhabiting the rangeland. Seven years in the
making but only recently published, the proposal designates an enormous swath
of the Central Valley - affecting portions of 26 counties - as a "study
area" encompassing around 18 million acres.” READ: WHAT CAUSED THE VALLEY FIRE TO BE THE 3RD MOST DESTRUCTIVE
