Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has announced his intent to reintroduce a Public Lands Sell-off Amendment, similar to the version recently rejected by the House. The House version of the amendment would have forced the sell-off of over 11,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) managed public land in Utah and at least 500,000 acres in Nevada. Stay tuned for an Advocacy Action coming very soon!

On May 16, @patagoniapasadena hosted “Mobilizing

On May 16, @patagoniapasadena hosted “Mobilizing for Monuments,” a film and panel conversation. A benefit for public lands and wilderness organization CalWild, it was cosponsored by @lanatureforall, @calwildorg, @EnvironmentallyU, @outdoorafro, @protectwildutah, and @1percentftp. Focused on shared values of environmental and social responsibility and with growing environmental and political challenges to public lands, the orgs gathered around the urgent opportunity to unite diverse voices to ensure future decisions reflect the values of the people who cherish and depend on these spaces.

The film documented a road trip from Colorado to California featuring voices from Tribes, conservation groups, outdoor companies, and recreationalists advocating for new national Monuments designation. Most of the proposed monuments were established but are now threatened. T’Essence Minnitee, co-founder of Environmentally U, moderated the panel on protecting public lands through the lenses of 30x30, culture, and environmental justice; it Margareta Lopez-Pelayo of Nature for All, Linda Castro of CalWild, Johanna Iraheta of We Still Move, and SUWA West Coast Organizer, Jenny Holmes.

Holmes spoke about the lessons learned in working with Tribes to support the establishment of, and ongoing efforts to protect, Bears Ears National Monument, as well as the vital importance of California cosponsors of America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act, SUWA’s signature legislation.

❗TAKE ACTION NOW❗The Bureau of Land Management

❗TAKE ACTION NOW❗The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is moving forward with plans to sell 14 oil and gas leases encompassing over 19,000 acres in Utah. One lease is located right in the heart of the scenic White River corridor, spanning both sides of the river. Submit your comment by Friday, June 6th.

The White River cuts a rugged, winding trough across the high desert plains of eastern Utah’s Uinta Basin. The BLM has said that the White River “. . . is a place to paddle, watch wildlife, and occasionally leave the river for an unforgettable hike. This is one of the quiet places, where solitude and a sense of adventure are still very much a part of the outdoor experience.”
