Wild Utah: America’s Red Rock Wilderness
This 14-minute short documentary is our centerpiece advocacy film for Utah’s last remaining wild places. With stunning videography, it takes the viewer through magnificent red rock landscapes and draws upon diverse voices to explain why these lands are worth protecting from the threats of fossil fuel extraction, off-road vehicle damage, hardrock mining, and anti-wilderness legislation from Utah’s own politicians. Visit our Act Now page to learn how you can get involved.
Keep Labyrinth Canyon Wild
Few places in redrock country are as well-known and loved as the Labyrinth Canyon stretch of the Green River, which was congressionally designated as a “scenic river” under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act in 2019. For more than 40 miles, the river’s placid waters flow through towering canyon walls, providing an unparalleled multi-day wilderness adventure suitable for boaters of all ages and experience levels.
In September of 2025, the Trump administration announced its plan to expand destructive off-road vehicle (ORV) use in the Labyrinth Canyon area. The move came less than two years after the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) finalized a plan determining where ORV use is and is not allowed in the region. While this is a significant step back, it is not the final word. We will not stop fighting to Keep Labyrinth Canyon Wild.
SUWA worked with Cody Perry and Ben Kraushaar of Rig to Flip to create a short film—Keep Labyrinth Canyon Wild—about this remarkable landscape. Please watch and share.
The Bureau of Land Management is Planning the Future of Utah Wilderness
The Bureau of Land Management is making plans that will impact how Utah’s wild lands will look and sound for decades to come through what are known as “Travel Management Plans.” These plans will impact more than 6 million acres of public lands in Utah as the BLM decides where to allow motorized vehicles in some of Utah’s most stunning and remote wild lands, such as the Dirty Devil, San Rafael Swell and Labyrinth Canyon.

Chaining on Utah’s Public Lands
SUWA launched a statewide television and online media campaign in Utah to focus public attention on the Bureau of Land Management’s destructive practice of “chaining” native pinyon and juniper forests to create more forage for cattle on public lands. Learn more at suwa.org/chaining.
SUWA’s Stewardship Volunteers
SUWA’s Stewardship Program volunteers have traveled throughout Utah to give back to our public lands through service projects. We invite you to join us in the field on a service project and experience firsthand the public lands we are all fighting to protect! Apply now at suwa.org/stewardship.
