This is the first official post for the Wilderness-Sportsman blog. My name is Mike and I created the Wilderness Sportsman. This site was designed and created to assist in providing the easiest and fastest possible way to get information on our great public lands. I hope the site works for everyone who enjoys our great national forests, parks and BLM lands -wether you are a hiker, rafter, fisherman, hunter or wildlife watcher.  The site provides resources for public land protection, trip planning and links to every national forest and every major national park. The news section also provides a basic public lands info service. The USFS, BLM, congress and park links next to the “watchful” raven are for your personal letter writing if you happen to have been driven to do so after reading the various news stories.

There are two issues that I feel are incredibly important concerning public lands today:

1. Keeping roadless areas roadless
2. Keeping public lands public

If those two things can be accomplished, it makes all the other problems much easier to fix.

Thanks for stopping in!
