The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is accepting s The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is accepting scoping comments on a proposal to sell 44 parcels spanning more than 74,000 acres of public land in Utah for oil and gas development. This sale is an especially bad one for redrock country as it includes a large block of parcels in the northern Dirty Devil region, parcels atop Horse Bench on the West Tavaputs Plateau, parcels scattered throughout the southern Uinta Basin, and several more in the Hatch Point region, just east of Bears Ears National Monument.

📣 ACT NOW 📣 (link in bio)

The public comment period is open through Thursday, July 16. Please tell the agency to keep oil and gas development out of Utah’s wild places.
Today, the federal 10th Circuit Court of Appeals i Today, the federal 10th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision on an appeal brought in August 2023 by the State of Utah, Blue Ribbon Coalition, and others challenging President Biden’s October 2021 use of the Antiquities Act to restore the boundaries of Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments. The Circuit Court’s decision did three principal things: (1) it reversed the district court’s dismissal of the underlying lawsuits brought by Utah and others, (2) it affirmed the district court’s dismissal of the Blue Ribbon Coalition and other individual plaintiffs, and (3) it remanded the case to the district court to consider whether President Biden’s 2021 orders were lawful.

Last week, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) iss Last week, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued a decision approving 10 backcountry airstrips in the BLM’s Canyon Country District, which includes the Moab and Monticello field offices in the heart of Utah’s redrock country. These airstrips, many of which show no signs of recent use and none of which were open to use, are scattered across some of the most remote and ecologically sensitive landscapes in southern Utah—including the Gemini Bridges/Labyrinth Canyon area and the remote backcountry immediately adjacent to Bears Ears National Monument.
