Earlier this week the Bureau of Land Management (B Earlier this week the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approved the first phase of the Sevier Playa potash mining project, “…granting Peak Minerals authorization to move forward with construction and operations. This decision allows for the extraction of potash and other minerals…along with the development of supporting infrastructure both on and off lease areas.”

This week, SUWA's freshest face, Executive Directo This week, SUWA's freshest face, Executive Director Scott Braden, spent time with our legislative team in Washington DC to meet with Senators, members of Congress, and community partners to discuss his vision for wilderness on public lands in Utah. Meetings included our redrock champions Rep. Melanie Stansbury and Sen. Dick Durbin, members of the Utah delegation, and leaders in the wilderness and public lands advocacy space based there. 

Additionally, Scott joined our DC staff and friends organizations at a "Don't Sell My Public Lands" visibility event during Interior Sec. Doug Burgum's hearings on the Trump Administration's budget. SUWA's strength at the DC level is vital to ensuring public lands remain public. Reach out to your reps to co-sponsor America's Red Rock Wilderness today by visiting: suwa.org/arrwa119

Senator Mike Lee from Utah released plans yesterda Senator Mike Lee from Utah released plans yesterday that would force the sale of millions of acres of public lands across the West to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. After refusing to provide details for weeks, he released the Energy and Natural Resources Committee’s text for the FY25 Budget Reconciliation Bill, which is currently being considered by the Senate. The text requires the Department of the Interior and US Forest Service to offer up millions of acres of public land across 11 western states (AK, AZ, CA, CO, ID, NV, NM, OR, UT, WA, and WY) for sale.

See quote above from SUWA DC Director, Travis Hammill.

As we feared, the public lands sell-off amendment As we feared, the public lands sell-off amendment is back. Today, during a Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Hearing on the Department of the Interior’s (DOI) FY 2026 Budget, DOI Secretary Burgum confirmed that Senator Lee (R-UT) plans to introduce a Public Lands Sell-off Amendment into the FY25 Budget Reconciliation Bill, currently being considered by the Senate.

According to Secretary Burgum’s testimony, the Amendment would require DOI to offer up approximately 2 million acres of public land across Utah, Idaho, Nevada, and Alaska for sale. 

Keep the pressue on and reach out to your Senators! Visit: suwa.org/callyoursenator to ACT NOW and keep public land sell-off out of this betrayal of a budget bill.
