Help Reopen 1.2 Million Acres of Public Land – Support Congressional Review of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Resource Management Plan

Jan 24, 2026

In their final days the outgoing administration finalized a Resource Management Plan for 1.87 million–acres of the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument that dramatically restricts long-standing recreation and traditional uses. Congress is now pursuing a Congressional Review Act resolution to overturn the plan, and on January 15, 2026, the Government Accountability Office confirmed the RMP qualifies as a “rule” subject to CRA submission requirements. Urge your members of Congress to support the review and disapproval of the RMP to restore access for southern Utah’s rural communities and public land recreationists.

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.

BRC supports a modified version of Alternative 2 because it reflects how the Endangered Species Act is intended to be administered and it will allow for continued and/or expanded OHV access on Oceano Dunes. Public comments are accepted through January 23, 2026!

Dec 31, 2025

Montana legislators are proposing to release 3 of the 44 Wilderness Study Areas which have been in place since 1977.

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. Disguised as conservation, it would ban most recreation, silence local communities, and hand control to distant special interests—learn what’s really at stake and take action before it’s too late via the form below.
