UPLA attends a lot of meetings and events where we are visible, but most of the work that UPLA does is behind the scenes. We’re constantly examining land management actions, court cases, social media, and the Federal Register to stay informed about proposed actions that may affect OHV recreation. This work is vitally important, not only to help influence the decisions that Land Managers make, but also to present enough facts to satisfy the elements of a claim for legal legal action.

UPLA does not engage directly in litigation, but instead trusts BlueRibbon Coalition to initiate and manage all legal claims to represent our interests as a Member, and they can do the same thing for you as a member of BlueRibbon Coalition, that’s why we strongly recommend you become a member of both UPLA and BlueRibbon.

Utah is blessed with 2,400,000 acres of land owned by federal and state government, that means 70% of Utah land belongs to us, the people. Even though it’s our land, the fight to retain access to these lands for responsible recreation is getting even fiercer.

The Utah Public Lands Alliance has been representing the public since 2014 and now have over 950 members. We are expanding our coverage throughout the state and to make sure we represent all public land users. To accomplish our Mission, we are changing our Membership policy effective July 6, 2021.

Our existing Lifetime Members as of June 30 will be automatically converted to Charter Members, which are to be recognized as the first to step up to meet the challenge. All Charter Members will retain their membership for life without any further subscriptions.

Effective July 6 all new members will become Annual Members at the same fee of $25 except it will automatically renew each year. For Members that want to step forward and be recognized for making a huge difference, a Benefactor Lifetime Membership will be available for $500 as a one time donation.

What Do You Need To Do?

If you are already a UPLA member, you do not need to do anything, you will automatically become a Charter Member on July 6.

If you are not currently a member, sign up for the Lifetime Membership by July 5 and you’ll automatically become a Charter Member, meaning you’ll never have to pay membership dues again.

Together, We Will Win

But We Can’t Do It Without You
