Support U.S. Forest Service Proposal to Streamline Post-Fire Recovery Efforts

Jan 15, 2026

The U.S. Forest Service is taking public comment on a proposal to create a nationwide Environmental Assessment regarding post-wildfire recovery work. Right now, NEPA delays can stretch for years, leaving dangerous trees, erosion, damaged roads/trails, and burned timber to worsen while communities lose access and local economies take the hit. Canada often moves far more quickly after fires, and changes would help bring the U.S. closer to that more effective model. Comments are open through January 26. Add your voice below.

America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act: The elitist plan to lock up Southern Utah’s public lands

Dec 31, 2025

A long-running bill dubbed the ‘America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act’ would radically reshape how millions of acres of Utah’s public lands are managed.
