Dozens of public lands advocates say Trump administration 'shut them out'

Groups comprised of ranchers, hunters and conservationists say interior secretary Ryan Zinke has stonewalled them

The Trump administration has angered ranchers, hunters, fishermen and conservationists across the US who complain they are being shut out of a federal advisory process designed to steer the management of cherished public lands.

Many of the dozens of public advisory boards have been stonewalled by the department of interior since the president put Ryan Zinke at the helm of the agency.
