Right now the U.S. Senate is considering legislation (S. 2834) that would permanently protect a spectacular stretch of wildlands in southwestern Utah. But the bill doesn’t go nearly
far enough and we need your help to make it stronger — before the Senate casts its vote!

Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/redrock/takeaction and tell your senators to oppose S. 2834 unless its flaws are
fixed.

As written now, the Washington County Growth and Conservation Act fails to protect over half of the county’s proposed wilderness-quality lands.

In addition, the bill does not sufficiently protect desert tortoise habitat in the Mojave Desert or currently protected wilderness-quality lands near Zion National Park against damage
from off-road vehicles.

The bill also proposes to sell off up to 14 square miles of America’s public wildlands, the majority of which are not currently identified for sale.

Go to http://www.savebiogems.org/redrock/takeaction right now and urge your senators not to support S. 2834 until these shortcomings are addressed.

Thank you for speaking out in defense of Utah’s spectacular redrock country.
