The Subcommittee on Federal Lands will hold an oversight hearing on “Promoting Conservation with a Purpose on America’s Federal Lands and Forests” on Wednesday, March 8, at 10:15 a.m. EST in 1324 Longworth House Office Building.

Republicans will argue: “Preservationist policies that lock up our nation’s abundant resources will only exacerbate the historically devastating wildfire and drought crisis, rural economic decline, and the loss of access and enjoyment to large parts of our federal lands. “
