TEP's alternative route would go down the east side of the Tumacacoris using the El Paso Gas pipeline easement through 14 miles of Coronado National Forest. The Department is proposing this despite the fact that disease, drought and many other factors are influencing the bighorn sheep herd. In addition, Ms. Sandra Newman, a member of the Gwich'in Nation will talk about the potential impact of oil development on the Gwich'in peoples traditional way of life. These two riveting programs will be presented back to back at Trinity Cathedral on July 5th, from 7p.m.-9p.m. and will be followed by a FREE Ice Cream social. The program is sponsored by the Sierra Club.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is holding eleven community open house meetings as part of a process to determine how to improve the three year old program that established an experimental population of Mexican wolves in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. We need your help today to let our elected officials know we support this monument. Please attend any of these community information meetings. We need to let BLM know we support the Monument at its current acreage, and that we oppose changes to monument boundaries or management to allow for increased consumptive uses. Show your support for the Mexican Gray Wolf recovery program and also for the participation of the Game and Fish Department in this program.
