Did you know August is National Make-A-Will Month?

Did you know August is National Make-A-Will Month? It’s the perfect time to reflect on the legacy you want to leave for the people and causes you love. By including a gift to a nonprofit in your will, you create a lasting impact that extends far beyond your lifetime.

When you choose to remember SUWA in your estate plans, you’re funding real-world, effective resistance and helping to ensure that public lands in Utah remain intact far into the future. Legacy gifts--whether large or small--are vital to the strength of all nonprofits, and while we would be honored to be part of your legacy, we also encourage you to consider supporting other organizations close to your heart.

To make the process easy, we’ve teamed up with FreeWill, a free online resource that helps you create a legally valid will at no cost. Visit suwa.org/plannedgiving (link in bio) to learn more—and know that you can include a planned gift to any organizations you care about through our portal, not just us. Together, these commitments help build a stronger, more resilient future. #protectwildutah

[Fri - Sun, September 19-21] Westwater Canyon River Cleanup – Join us for a river cleanup to steward public lands in celebration of Latino Conservation Week and National Public Lands Day! We'll camp overnight in the river corridor, remove non-native vegetation and beautify campsites, and get to raft through Class III rapids! [Photo 2]

[Mon - Thurs, September 22 - 25] Indian Creek: Riparian Restoration – Work alongside a local Forest Service hydrologist to restore ecological integrity to riparian plan and animal (think beaver!) communities in the high desert.

[Saturday, September 27] Stansbury Island Stewardship for National Public Lands Day – Stansbury Island is part of Utah’s magnificent northern landscape, but in recent years it has experienced more than its fair share of trash dumping. Let’s celebrate National Public Lands Day by helping out this special place with a morning of trash clean-up!

❗TAKE ACTION NOW❗(link in bio)

Congress isn’t in session right now, but when they return, they’ll be working on finishing the 2026 Budget Bill. We need you to speak up and ensure that Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument remains protected from exploitation. The House version of the bill includes a harmful provision that would undermine existing protections for this crown jewel of our nation’s public lands system.

In practical terms, if the House version is passed, it would require the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to follow a 2020 Trump administration resource management plan that does NOT afford monument protections for approximately 900,000 acres of Grand Staircase-Escalante.

We can make sure this doesn’t happen—but we need to act now. The Senate’s version of the Budget Bill does not include the harmful provision, and it must stay that way. Our advocacy action urges senators to hold the line and reject any attempt to add this provision into their version of the bill; at the same time, it calls on representatives to remove the provision from the House bill.

Please take a moment to contact your elected officials and tell them to protect Grand Staircase-Escalante!
