A couple of weeks ago, we took a small group of Latinos for Utah Wilderness to explore Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. It was a magical weekend filled with learning, exploration, great conversation, and amazing views. We couldn't have done it without the help of our hosts, @grandstaircasepartners, who kept us fed, entertained, and safe.

If you are interested in joining Latinos for Utah Wilderness, please email diana@suwa.org.

A vote by the U.S. House of Representatives is ant

A vote by the U.S. House of Representatives is anticipated Tuesday on the WEST Act. This federal legislation, introduced by Rep. John Curtis would require the Director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to withdraw the recently finalized Public Lands Rule.

As National Park Week comes to a close, we’d like to celebrate all protected places in Utah! Did you know four out of the five national parks in Utah originally began as national monuments?⁠ ⁠

🏜️ Zion National Park⁠ (previously Mukuntaweap National Monument)⁠
🏜️ Bryce Canyon National Park (previously Bryce Canyon National Monument)⁠ ⁠
🏜️ Arches National Park⁠ (previously Arches National Monument)⁠ ⁠
🏜️ Capitol Reef National Park⁠ (previously Capitol Reef National Monument)⁠ ⁠

As you may know, the Antiquities Act is a tool that provides the opportunity to conserve lands with natural, historical and cultural characteristics by designating them as national monuments.

Today, Utah has a total of eight national monuments, some of which you may recognize—Natural Bridges National Monument⁠, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument⁠, Cedar Breaks National Monument, Bears Ears National Monument⁠, and others. It is important to remember when visiting these special places to visit with respect.

We are thankful for the leaders who (past and present) have utilized the Antiquities Act thoughtfully, and we look with hope upon how we continue to move conservation forward in the United States.⁠

Happy National Parks Week!

Interns will gain insights into environmental campaign planning, education, organizing, and activism. This internship is based in Salt Lake City and runs roughly Mid-May to Mid-August 2024.

Today, the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on

Today, the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Federal Lands held a Field Hearing in Hurricane, UT. A variety of topics were covered, including the proposed Northern Corridor Highway through the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area (NCA) and the recently finalized Public Lands Rule. Below is a statement from Travis Hammill, SUWA’s DC Director.

“Today’s partisan hearing was out of touch with local and national support for protecting public lands— especially the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area. Despite a hearing title that included the phrase “Empowering Local Voices,” no members of the public were allowed to speak. Local community members sporting “No Highway thru Red Cliffs” stickers made up a majority of the audience and the message was clear,” — Travis Hammill

Thank you to all who showed up and braved the heat to help protect Red Cliffs NCA! To read the full statement, visit the link in our bio.
