Save Thompson Divide!

The Thompson Divide is at risk. Much of this vast swath of backcountry west of the Crystal River and mostly north of McClure Pass has already been leased for natural gas drilling. Development of these leases would have disastrous social, economic and environmental consequences for the area.

We have formed the Thompson Divide Coalition to secure permanent protection from energy development for the federal lands in the Thompson Divide area. We are ranchers, farmers, hunters, fishermen, recreationalists, conservationists and community leaders. We live, work and recreate in this area – many of us depend on these federal lands for our livelihood – and we believe that our beloved, life-giving, watershed-sustaining backyard is more valuable just as it is.
