Block the Trump Administration's Latest Reckless Plans for Our Public Lands
Interior Secretary David Bernhardt and President Donald Trump
In 2017, President Trump signed an illegal order gutting Grand Staircase-Escalante, reducing it to nearly half its original size. His goal: Exploiting this and other treasured public land for oil and gas drilling, coal mining, and more. These dangerous new management plans are the administration's next step toward that goal.
Sign your name with the NRDC Action Fund demanding the Trump administration withdraw its irresponsible management plans for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and protect this iconic public land.

Dear Interior Secretary Bernhardt and President Trump:
The management plans proposed for Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument put our public lands at risk and are a senseless waste of taxpayer money. I urge you to put the best interests of the American people before the oil and coal industries and restore this iconic monument for future generations to enjoy.
What's more, the Trump administration is still facing a court challenge to the president's illegal decision to reduce the boundaries of the monument in the first place. At the very least, I urge you to wait until after the court rules on the president's proclamation that eviscerated protections for Grand Staircase before implementing any new plans.
The existing management plans for Grand Staircase are the product of countless hours of input from government staff, local businesses, and other stakeholders who care deeply about these lands. It's senseless and destructive for you to throw out those plans and replace them with something this grossly inadequate.
Please reverse course and protect Grand Staircase-Escalante and all our cherished public lands.
Thank you.
