A huge thank you to everyone who showed up at the

A huge thank you to everyone who showed up at the Public Lands Rally today!! If you weren't able to attend and live in Utah, you can still speak up by TAKING ACTION NOW, and telling Governor Cox to stop his attacks on public lands! Whether it’s the State’s attempted Land Grab Lawsuit, attacks on Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments, or supporting the Northern Corridor Highway, Governor Cox is anti-public-lands, over and over again. It’s time for him and his administration to proactively support clean air, clear water, and common-sense conservation efforts. Please join us in calling on him to stop his attacks on public lands! Link in bio.

SWIPE If you live outside of Utah, you can take action too! Tell your Governor to support protected public lands. It’s a scary time for federal public lands across the U.S.—they’re under attack from hostile state legislators and governors, as well as elected officials at the federal level, including incoming President Trump. These public lands—places that we love and cherish, that sustain us, and that are the source of so much hope and inspiration—are worth fighting for! Please take action TODAY and let your Governor know that you support protected public lands. Link in bio.

As snow falls gently on the sandstone, our Steward

As snow falls gently on the sandstone, our Stewardship team is hard at work crafting this year’s slate of volunteer projects across the state—and we are just a few weeks away from releasing our 2025 project calendar!

Join us on January 30th for a “Winter Stew” social at Publik Space in Salt Lake City. We will celebrate and kick off our 10th season of stewardship and share a glimpse of our volunteer project calendar. Be the first to know where we are headed in 2025!

If you have always wanted to join a stewardship project but something has stopped you, this is THE event to attend to learn more. We will have stew, warm drinks, and dessert; share stories and camaraderie; and look forward to another year of working hands-on to Protect Wild Utah. RSVP at the link in our bio.

For those who don’t live locally or can’t attend, you can still help us celebrate our program’s 10th anniversary by joining a stewardship project in 2025. The project calendar goes live to the general public on February 1st.
