Western Watersheds Project Works on Behalf of All Americans


In the December 26, 2019 issue, Garfield County commissioner Leland Pollock is quoted as speaking about Western Watersheds Project (WWP) in a possibly misleading way. WWP works on behalf of all Americans and our public lands to promote freedom of choice for public lands livestock operators. WWP supports a free-market solution where willing operators are free to choose to accept a permanent buyout of their grazing permit. Perhaps an operator’s assets can be better utilized elsewhere. Perhaps the land is no longer productive for grazing. For whatever concern, WWP recognizes the de facto property value of an operator’s permit and stands by with a win-win solution.
