Cow Pie Circle. Prescott National Forest, Arizona. The environmental impacts of grazing on our arid southwestern national forests are indisputable. Studies show that freshwater streams, arteries of life in these dry lands, are in the worst shape in recorded history.
Wildlife pays a heavy price for livestock grazing.
More than 150 fish and wildlife species already listed as endangered are imperiled by livestock grazing on western BLM and USFS lands. Private grazing lands could easily replace this percentage. It's time to set our sights on a Zero Extraction policy for all public lands. To find out how you can help, contact the Prescott National Forest Friends, POB 10642, Prescott, AZ 86304.
