Proposal to make White Sands National Monument into a U.N. World Heritage Site questioned

A handful of locals recruited by Alamogordo resident Bill Biggerstaff spent time Saturday morning near the Tropical Sno concession in the Lowe's Pay and Save parking lot discussing their opposition to the White Sands Monument being proposed for designation as a United Nations World Heritage Site.

They also asked shoppers and passersby to sign a petition to that effect.
