Protecting Greater Canyonlands
The Greater Canyonlands area — encompassing 1.4 million acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land surrounding Canyonlands National Park — is a landscape of sweeping plateaus, stunning geologic formations, 10,000 year old archeological sites, and unmatched natural beauty. The Obama administration just refused to host a public discussion on protecting this spectacular region. Even worse, it claims the management plans written by the Bush administration already provide adequate protection. These are the same Bush plans that designated more than 3,000 miles of off-road vehicle trails in proposed redrock wilderness. Tell President Obama to stop defending Bush’s environmental record and start protecting Greater Canyonlands.
