Otero Mesa and the America’s Great Outdoors Initiative

In July 2011, the Coalition for Otero Mesa developed the following report, which details point-by-point how the campaign to save this wild and beautiful grassland fits perfectly into the Obama Administration’s America’s Great Outdoors Initiative. In June of 2010, over 400 supporters of protecting Otero Mesa turned out to an administration listening session in Albuquerque. Since that time there have been several other public forums held in Alamogordo, Albuquerque, and Las Cruces, all designed to educate the public about the values of Otero Mesa, and why this crown jewel of the American Southwest deserves to be permanently protected.
