Yesterday, during a closed-door meeting, the State Yesterday, during a closed-door meeting, the State of Utah laid out its latest effort to undermine and dismantle the nation’s public lands system: a plan for the State to have significant influence over national parks, especially in the area of visitor use, management, and new development.  The “workshop” appears to have been specifically tailored to avoid Utah’s open meetings laws by inviting numerous county commissioners and legislators, but at numbers right below the threshold that would have required the meeting be open to the public.

This Giving Tuesday, please consider donating to S This Giving Tuesday, please consider donating to SUWA’s year-end fundraising drive!

Over 90% of our funding comes from individuals like you who care deeply about the future of the redrock, and your support is critical as we prepare to meet the upcoming challenges of this administration and their attempts to dismantle the very public lands system itself.

Throughout December, we’ll be posting a series of updates as part of a year-end fundraising effort. We’ll be spotlighting the biggest challenges facing public lands in Utah, and how every dollar you give empowers the Protect Wild Utah movement.

The threats we’re facing are significant, but so is our resolve. With your support, we’ll ensure that the redrock wilderness remains protected today, tomorrow, and for generations to come. To donate now, visit the link in our bio.

Tell your senators to oppose Steve Pearce as BLM Director NOW at the link in our bio.

With Pearce at the helm, the BLM will be focused on expanding the fossil fuel industry’s access to public lands at the expense of the health and well-being of local communities. At the same time, Pearce will work to sell off public lands to the highest bidders. ACT NOW, it only takes a minute! #protectwildutah
