Today marks the 120th anniversary of the Antiquiti Today marks the 120th anniversary of the Antiquities Act—a simple yet powerful tool that protects some of the most magnificent places in our country. Since 1906, it’s given presidents the ability to preserve wild landscapes, cultural sites, biodiversity, wildlife and so much more.

One of those places is Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument—proof of how one piece of legislation can safeguard millions of years of history, science, and beauty in a single moment. That special place is now at risk. 

Honor the anniversary of the Antiquities Act by taking action TODAY. Call your Senator at 202-224-3121, or email them in just one click at the link in our bio—and urge them to VOTE NO on the resolution attacking Grand Staircase-Escalante.

Last Friday, after most people left work, Presiden Last Friday, after most people left work, President Trump announced the repeal of two executive orders (11644 and 11989) that govern off-road vehicle (ORV) use on public lands nationwide. He also directed federal land management agencies to rescind or revise their regulations implementing these orders, setting the stage for chaos and confusion across the country. 

For a bit of background, Presidents Nixon and Carter issued those executive orders in response to an explosive increase in ORV use in the 1960s and 70s across public lands and the corresponding environmental damage and conflict. Together, the orders directed federal land management agencies to develop regulations to address that increasing ORV use by “minimizing” the resultant impacts . This included locating ORV areas and trails to minimize damage to public land resources and wildlife as well as conflicts between different recreationists. The orders also empowered agencies to act swiftly to close areas to ORVs when they are causing or will cause considerable damage to natural and cultural resources. 

For roughly 50 years, these orders have helped protect streams, wildlife and their habitats, and opportunities for safe recreation by providing clear and consistent guidance for motorized and nonmotorized users on Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service lands.
