Several national news outlets are reporting that this past Friday night President Trump signed an Executive Order undoing Chuckwalla and Sáttítla Highlands National Monuments in California. Below is a statement from SUWA Legal Director Steve Bloch.

“The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the local communities, organizations, and Tribal Nations who supported the establishment of Chuckwalla and Sáttítla Highlands National Monuments,” said Steve Bloch, Legal Director for the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. “Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments have endured similar attacks, making us all too familiar with the chaos and uncertainty caused by Trump’s illegal actions. Our nation’s remarkable public lands are held in trust for all Americans, regardless of income or background; they are not items on a balance sheet to be sold off to the highest bidder. Protected public lands are worth fighting for and we are confident these attacks will not be successful.”

Our 2025 Stewardship season has begun!

Over the years, our stewardship volunteers have requested we create an emblem of the program—something they can use to rep being a SUWA Steward. To celebrate the tenth year of our program, we partnered with local artist @pine.bones to create a SUWA Steward design! All volunteers who attend a project this year will receive a decal/sticker of the artwork. Review the project calendar and fill out an application today, projects are filling up fast! Link in bio.

Thank you for all that you have done—and will do—to #ProtectWildUtah

Last week, 50 redrock activists flew to D.C. to advocate for America's Red Rock Wilderness Act (ARRWA)! We visited over 220 offices, informing them on the sacred lands we work to protect.

Shoutout to redrock champions @repstansbury and @senatordurbin—for being original co-sponsors of the bill. Contact your representatives TODAY and ask them to cosponsor America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act! Link in bio. #ProtectWildUtah

Yesterday, the Idaho-based Blue Ribbon Coalition and others sued the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) over the recently finalized San Rafael Swell Travel Management Plan. Below is a statement from SUWA Staff Attorney, Laura Peterson.

“The motorized recreation groups filing this lawsuit are bound and determined to make Utah’s remarkable San Rafael Swell nothing more than a playground for off-road vehicles and side-by-sides; a place where it’s impossible to find peace and quiet. We’re not going to stand by and let that happen.

While BLM’s recently-completed San Rafael Swell travel plan got many things wrong, one thing it did right was not opening roughly 650 miles of so-called “routes” in the Swell to motorized vehicles. These 650 miles include trails that were created in the past fifteen or so years through illegal motorized use and are located in stream corridors and wash bottoms, run through cultural sites and lead to users causing real and serious environmental damage. Others are simply lines on a map that do not exist on the ground.” — Laura Peterson, SUWA Staff Attorney

What is Wilderness Week!? Every March, activists from across the country fly in to Washington DC to lobby for America's Red Rock Wilderness Act (ARRWA)—legislation that would add more than 8 million acres of public lands in Utah to the National Wilderness Preservation System.

Our activists spend weeks setting up and prepping for these meetings, so they can inform their representatives on why protecting this land is so important and what it means to them.

Check out this infographic to learn more about ARRWA & help support the work these activists are doing by visiting our action page and reaching out to your reps TODAY! Link in bio.
