Please keep the NFV healthy. It's taken many years to rid the soils from DDT poison used as a pesticide before I moved to Hotchkiss in 1971. Please keep oil & gas leasing on any land out of this pristine area of CO.

I am a chef who cooks locally and requires pristine organic environments to source my food from, without these natural spaces, our food and balance of life are put in jeopardy.

We need land to give to our children someday, please think of them when you think of drilling on this beautiful land that has already given enough.

It is truly a little piece of heaven for so many citizens and visitors alike. [Oil and gas development] would destroy the local economy and a place that so many rely on for rest.

Oil and Gas companies completely deplete and ruin the areas they operate in, and then they move on to spoil the next, and the next, and the next locations they use. This practice is not healthy for the land, the animals, or the people. Please, do not open our land to this. Please.

As a mother that very much loves to feed my children the best, most local, beautiful organic food, it would be absolutely heartbreaking to see this option come to an end. Especially for oil and gas.
