SUWA is a proud founding member of the National Wi SUWA is a proud founding member of the National Wilderness Coalition, which began just a few years ago as a small group discussing the future of the wilderness movement and is now a nationwide coalition of over 50 organizations.

Earlier this year, the Coalition launched Voices for Wilderness, a project that collects stories, experiences, and perspectives about why wilderness and wild places matter. If you follow us on social,  you’re likely a prime candidate to share your story!

You can share your story in whatever format feels most natural—video, voice recording,  written response, etc. Examples from other wilderness enthusiasts and details about how to participate can be found at voicesforwilderness.com. 

To get you thinking, here are some of the questions you can respond to when sharing your story:
--Why does wilderness matter to you or your community?
--What experiences have shaped your connection to wild places?
--What do you hope for the future of the places you love?

Thank you for speaking up for wilderness!

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.
