BLM Meeting for Ironwood National Monument
Sahuarita, AZ

  The BLM is in charge of the Ironwood National Monument, and they are attempting to set a plan of action. They've publicized a series of meetings to offer alternatives for the area in regards to public use and recreation. Part of their process is to have public meetings. Shooting is one of the recreational uses in the area, so we attended  the meeting in Sahuarita, AZ on April 3, 2007
