The deserts of southern Utah are a place for discovery, amazement and, most importantly, learning. That’s why the EnviroClub at the University of Utah spent our first weekend of summer vacation in Bears Ears National Monument. We went to learn about and serve the land, but we came back with so much more.
We also came back to the news that Rep. John Curtis and Sen. Orrin Hatch introduced the Emery County Public Lands Management Act, which does not do America’s public lands of the renowned Utah desert justice, as far as protection goes.
This bill is a step in the right direction, but it falls short.
