Today is National Tourism Day! Over the past decad

Today is National Tourism Day! Over the past decade we have seen a rapid expansion of tourism to Utah’s public lands. With millions of people visiting southern Utah each year, there are adverse impacts to wilderness values, wildlife, and natural and cultural resources which is why we encourage everyone to do their part.

We'd like to take a moment to remind visitors to visit responsibility. Our friends at @visitwithrespect_ have created a campaign that promotes 19 key tips to help visitors enhance their experience and ensure future visitors can share in the same experience. Visit: bearsearspartnership.org/visit-with-respect to learn more.

SUWA is seeking a summer/fall intern to support grassroots organizing among Latinx communities in Utah and will work closely with our Latinx Community Organizer. This is a great opportunity to gain valuable experience into the day-to-day functions of non-profit grassroots organizing with one of the country’s leading conservation campaigns. The experience offers insight into environmental campaign planning, education, organizing and activism.

This internship runs from June–September 2024 and is based in Salt Lake City with travel throughout the valley, across the Wasatch Front, and Southern Utah, if needed. Access to reliable transportation and ability to transport materials is required.

Interested? Send a one-page resume and a one-page cover letter summarizing why you’re the best candidate, where this opportunity fits into your career goals, and what you intend to do with the experience. Send both items to Diana Haro by email to diana@suwa.org. Application deadline is May 17, 2024.

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.

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!
