Urgent-Take Action to Stop Adoption of BLM Rule

The Bureau of Land Management Conservation and Landscape Health Rule (BLM-2023-0001) is threatening to strip away access to public lands that belong to all of us. This rule would allow wealthy organizations to take control of our precious lands, eliminating our access to BLM lands. We cannot sit idly by and watch as our land is sold to the highest bidder. It’s time to take action and stop this rule change before it’s too late. Join us in the fight to preserve our public lands for future generations by going to Regulations.gov and submitting your reasons this rule should be rejected. When submitting comments, the field is limited to 5000 words, so if you have more than that, you may want to attach a document instead.

You can find UPLA’s comments documenting our strong opposition here.

Congress is working to reject adoption of this proposal with H.R. 3397 and we are working on gaining Congressional support, but we cannot count on that solution.

As of today’s date, there have been 82,610 comments already posted on the BLM website, and a quick scan of recent comments shows that more comments are in favor of the Rule have been filed. We must rise to the challenge and get our side of the story on record. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that our natural resources remain in the hands of the people who cherish them most, but it requires your action now.

BLM restrictions on access are already very limiting, but adoption of this Rule will place extreme conservation groups like SUWA to determine who and how BLM land is used..

Stop This Change by going to Regulations.gov and make your comments today.
