Devils River State Natural  Area 
Thank you for taking action this past week asking the Texas Parks and  
Wildlife Department (TPWD) to preserve the Devils River State Natural  Area.   
Thanks in part to input from the Sierra Club (that means  you!) TPWD has 
announced that they have pulled the item from their  November 4 agenda.   
According to TPWD, the Devils River item will be discussed during an  
executive session and during a public briefing tomorrow at the 9 a.m. by  the 
Commission's Conservation Committee. Depending on the outcome of  tomorrow's 
briefing, the department may set more public meetings about  the project in 
coming weeks. _Click here for the TPWD Press Release._

Here is the Statement of Ken Kramer, Lone Star  ChapterDirector, Sierra 
Club on the TPWD Announcement by Texas Parks and  Wildlife Department 
Postponing a Decision on the Proposed Devils River  Land Transaction: 
"The Sierra Club appreciates the action taken by Texas Parks and  Wildlife 
Department today to postpone a final decision on the proposed  trade of the 
Devils River State Natural Area plus an $8 million cash  payment for the 
Devils River Ranch. Members of the public have made  their voices loud and 
clear that they are opposed to this land  transaction and the proposal has not 
had an adequate public airing. We  hope that with some additional time to 
review this proposal the Parks  and Wildlife Commission will reach a final 
conclusion that the Devils  River State Natural Area should remain part of the 
state parks  system." 
Thanks for all that you do to help the Sierra Club  be one of the most 
effective advocacy groups in Texas!  We  cannot do it without you.  Keep up the 
good work.   
Sincerely,     
Ken Kramer
Chapter Director
