Always a pleasure to report this kind of news!
"Victory! Congress protects over 1 million acres of public land
Congress has heeded the call of people across the country and acted to protect some of our most precious wild places for future generations.
A host of bipartisan wilderness and public lands bills added to the National Defense Authorization Act were passed by the Senate on Dec. 12 and are on their way to the president’s desk to be signed into law.
As a result, irreplaceable lands in Colorado, New Mexico, Washington, Nevada and many other states across the country will be protected for future generations—with a big assist from voices like yours.
All told, more than 1 million acres of public land are set to gain new protection, including 245,000 acres of wilderness."

That would probably be a bad move, LOL!, but thank you!
I actually am working on the second draft of my next book but it's about my life in music and some of the the social and cultural issues taking place during the decades from the 50's though 2010's. Which or course does include some environmental topics but not enough to get me endorsed by The Wilderness Society, haha!
