Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I have a message regarding our state’s precious natural landscape, as someone who appreciates the outdoors, our parks and vast national resources in the tradition of former President Teddy Roosevelt. Our federal lands provide enormous economic and recreational opportunity for our local communities. For example, outdoor recreation generates approximately $85 billion in annual consumer spending in California, supports 730,000 jobs, and provides an estimated $6.7 billion in state and local tax revenue.
