From: Neil Brown

I am writing to strongly oppose the proposal to allow Natural Asset Companies. Our federal and public lands should remain under the domain and management of our elected federal government, not the discretion of corporations whose loyalties lie with their shareholders and potentially foreign interests. For so many generations, our state and federal parks have been a beacon and model of conservation around the world. What message would it send that ours are now being monetized for the further gain of the elite? Neil Brown
