Legislation to designate Utah Wilderness has been introduced in the 106th Congress. Both bills would protect all 9.1 million acres in the Citizen's Wilderness Proposal. But the passage of such bills may still be years away. Please contact the BLM by June 21st and tell them to place all 2.6 million acres currently under consideration into protective Wilderness Study Area status. The public lands in Utah belong to all Americans.
Some places are just too special to use for oil drilling, or mining, or other developments.
These potential wilderness areas provide vital habitat for many species, including deer, desert bighorn sheep, and mountain lions. The magnificent red rock canyons in Utah offers our nation one of its last chances to protect wilderness and wild places. Please help protect these magnificent places. Or send a personalized email to the BLM, and for more information on the Citizen's Wilderness Proposal. WildAlert messages include updates along with clear, concise actions you can take to protect America's last wild places.
