Update on Utah National Monuments Rollback 

Our public lands are under threat. The places we hike, camp, and explore together are under threat. Federal public lands face proposed budget cuts, staff reductions, and weakened protections.

Thank you to everyone who is working on rapid response following the news that the President drastically cut Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments. Please read on for updated guidance, with special thanks to Cassaundra Pino and Lycia Ortega for their input on Tribal considerations.
