“Western Watersheds Project (WWP) map of public lands at risk of being sold off under the U.S. Senate’s newly unveiled budget reconciliation proposal—legislation that would mandate the liquidation of 2.19 million to 3.18 million acres of Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands across eleven Western states over the next five years.”

There are large areas of Big Sur marked for sale. And according to many other reports, this could have an effect on over 250 million acres in all Western States except Montana.
