Area North of Philmont Scout Ranch threatened.

[Attila]

I am not generally one to sign petitions. However this is one that I think that every Scouter in the U.S. needs to get behind.

 

An energy drilling company from Houston Texas is looking at developing natural gas wells on the Valle Vidal in Northern New Mexico. What makes this important to Scouters is the Valle Vidal lies north of Philmont Scout Ranch. Every year 2,500 to 3,000 Scouts hike across the Valle Vidal. It would be a travesty to allow drilling in this area. Especially when you take into consideration there is only an estimated 30 hours of natural gas for the country.

 

We, as Scouters must work to save the Valle Vidal for future generations of Boy Scouts.

 

Please contact the Coalition for the Valle Vidal at: www.vallevidal.org/

 

Thanks,

 

Attila
