Our Stewardship Program is looking for organized g

Our Stewardship Program is looking for organized groups, student clubs and classes, alternative break programs, independent associations and more to invite on our 2026 slate of volunteer projects on public lands in Utah. We invite you to learn more about the places—and issues—most affecting our precious wild places through direct, hands-on experience.

Scholarships are available by need. Our team works hard to match your group with the right experience. Consider joining SUWA in the field in 2026. Start by reviewing our calendar of events at suwa.org/projectcalendar—where you can also learn more about our program.

If you have any questions, contact our team directly at volunteer@suwa.org.

Projects begin this week and continue through November. We would love for you to join us! #protectwildutah

On Wednesday, Utah Senator Mike Lee and Representa

On Wednesday, Utah Senator Mike Lee and Representative Celeste Maloy introduced House Joint Resolution 151 and Senate Joint Resolution 109 under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to undo the current Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Management Plan.

If successful, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will be barred from issuing another plan that is similar in the future. This would be a devastating blow to the monument on the ground and set a dangerous precedent for public lands across the nation.

Already taken action? Here are more ways to get involved:
--Talk to people in your life who love public lands and encourage them to take action too, 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝘁𝗮𝗵! (Since the entire Utah delegation supports this effort).
--Share out on social media!
--Get artsy with us! The fight to protect public lands is a long one, but art is a part of this movement too. Share your stories of Grand Staircase-Escalante with us by emailing loveforgse@suwa.org and join in a collective project to celebrate our love for the monument!

Please contact your members of Congress today (House & Senate) and ask them to vote NO on the joint resolutions!

Today, the elected officials behind 2025’s failed

Today, the elected officials behind 2025’s failed public lands sell-off attempts - Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rep. Celeste Maloy (R-UT-02)— introduced a joint resolution to undo the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Management Plan using the Congressional Review Act (CRA).

If both chambers of Congress pass the measure by simple majority votes, the plan—which sets expectations for how these remarkable public lands will be managed—will be undone and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will be barred from issuing another plan that is “substantially the same” in the future.

This assault on a national monument marks a significant escalation in Congress’ use of the CRA. To read further, visit link in bio. #protectwildutah

A bit of good news in a challenging time. Last nig

A bit of good news in a challenging time. Last night, a federal judge granted a motion by conservation organizations to block ground-disturbing activities associated with construction of the Northern Corridor Highway through the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area.

The court’s injunction prohibits the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) from starting construction-related activities that would cause irreparable harm to the threatened Mojave desert tortoise. UDOT insisted on moving forward with these activities as quickly as possible despite uncertainty about its final highway plans and conservation organizations’ pending lawsuit that seeks to again declare the highway illegal. In granting the injunction, the judge found that conservation organizations’ lawsuit is likely to succeed in showing the highway approval is unlawful.

Senator Mike Lee is at it again. He has formally begun the process to fast-track the destruction of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah by adding the Government Accountability Office (GAO) opinion regarding the Monument’s Management Plan to the Congressional Record. Under the Congressional Review Act (CRA), once a “resolution of disapproval” is introduced (anticipated to occur any day), both chambers of Congress can expedite their votes and pass the measures by simple majority votes.

If that happens and the resolution is signed into law by the President, the Monument Management Plan – which sets expectations for how the land will be managed for wildlife, outdoor access, dark night skies, grazing, and other uses – will be undone and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will be barred from issuing another plan that is “substantially the same” in the future. Read more in our press release (linked in bio) and reach out to your Members of Congress using our advocacy action tool on the homepage of our website (suwa.org).
