The State of Utah’s lawsuit seeking control of 18.5 million acres of public land has implications that threaten all federal public lands. Elected officials in 14 states have now filed four legal briefs in support of Utah’s lawsuit. ESWA maintains that our national public lands belong to all Americans. Transferring public lands would result in increased industrial development, real estate development, and privatization.
If Utah is successful, other states may follow. We believe that this is a slippery slope that will eventually lead to reduced protection of our Wilderness areas.
What You Can Do
Write or call your state governor and your federal Congressperson and Senators - tell them you oppose the transfer of our national public lands.
