Utah officials are scheming to take 18.5 million acres of public land away from the American people—and they’re using taxpayer dollars to do it. Here's what you need to know. #protectwildutah #redrocks #utah #supremecourt #publicland

With every season comes change and this season is

With every season comes change and this season is no exception. Long-time SUWA Executive Director and defender of the redrock Scott Groene has announced he'll be leaving at the end of the year. Below is a special update from Scott; you can read more from him, as well as a letter from Board Chair Tom Kenworthy, at the link in our bio.

I’ve been fortunate to have the best job, working with the best people, on behalf of the most spectacular landscape on earth. I’m excited for SUWA’s future, with its blend of new and experienced staff, and the support of the SUWA board. The upcoming transition will allow SUWA to grow and evolve into an even better defender of the redrock.

SUWA has faced many obstacles over the years: entrenched bureaucracies, the greed of short-term development schemes, the rise of motorized toys, climate change, and the never-ending foolishness and mean-spiritedness of Utah’s politicians. But together, and beyond anyone’s expectations, we have successfully defended the redrock over the past four decades. We succeeded because we dared, and because of you and everyone else who has been part of this movement.

I first moved to Utah (Mexican Hat) nearly 40 years ago, and have since been blessed to spend much of my life exploring southern Utah with friends, my partner Christy, or alone. But my greatest joy has been teaching my daughters Maggie and Sadie to row the muddy rivers, ski the high backcountry, and navigate the redrock canyons. I trust in SUWA to make certain that there will always be plenty of wild canyon country for my daughters, and all of our children, to roam.

Through thick and thin, SUWA never gives up and never gives in. I am grateful for the chance to be part of this organization and its inextinguishable spirit. And I am equally grateful to all of you for your friendship, support, and hard work on behalf of the redrock. See you down the trail.

For the Redrock,
Scott Groene
