Arapaho National Forest Boundary Adjustment Act of 2017

Bill 115 s 289, also known as the Arapaho National Forest Boundary Adjustment Act of 2017, is a piece of legislation that aims to adjust the boundaries of the Arapaho National Forest in the state of Colorado. The bill was introduced in the 115th Congress by Senator Cory Gardner on February 2, 2017.

This transfer is intended to improve the management and protection of the lands, as well as to enhance recreational opportunities for visitors to the area. The bill also includes provisions for the exchange of lands between private landowners and the Forest Service.

The bill has received bipartisan support in Congress, with proponents arguing that the boundary adjustment will benefit both the environment and the local economy. Opponents have raised concerns about the potential impact on private landowners and the need for careful management of the transferred lands. Overall, the Arapaho National Forest Boundary Adjustment Act of 2017 is a complex piece of legislation that seeks to balance the interests of various stakeholders in the management of public lands. It is currently under consideration in Congress and may undergo further revisions before being enacted into law.
