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

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.
