County Shares Its Plan for Development and Conservation

September 30, 2015

This summer, San Juan County submitted its proposed maps to Congressman Bishop and Chaffetz showing areas to be protected and areas to be developed as an energy zone. The congressmen have reported that they are still working on developing a Public Lands Bill for eastern Utah that could be ready very soon. We continue to seek out opportunities to weigh in as the Public Lands Initiative bill language is developed with the hope that the bill will promote more preservation of important cultural sites.

This May, our Preservation Month theme is “People Saving Places” to shine the spotlight on everyone doing the work of saving places—in big ways and small—and inspiring others to do the same!

Celebrate!
