Today, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announc Today, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced that it would be reconsidering the San Rafael Desert and San Rafael Swell Travel Management Plans. Those two plans were finalized in 2022 and 2025 and guide where motorized vehicle use is allowed across more than 1.5 million acres of BLM-managed lands in Utah’s redrock country.

Utah's canyon country is stunning and irreplaceable, but it’s also facing extraordinary pressure from anti-conservation interests: from public land sell-off attempts, to conservation rollbacks, to attacks on our national monuments. But if the last 40 years have taught us anything, it’s this: when our supporters show up, we can prevail, even in the toughest political climates.

Tell the BLM that aircraft use at Keg Knoll in the Tell the BLM that aircraft use at Keg Knoll in the Labyrinth Canyon Wilderness is unnecessary and unlawful! Link in bio.

Backcountry airstrips and aircraft use conflict with the reasons most people seek out wilderness in the first place: solitude, natural soundscapes, wildlife, and an experience of remoteness that often can’t be found on other public lands.

The BLM is preparing an environmental assessment (EA) and is intending to issue a decision in mid-May. At the Trump administration’s direction, the agency is not planning to release a draft EA to the public or hold a formal public comment period—so please submit your comments as soon as possible.
