For nearly a decade, we’ve joined Indigenous tribes, environmental leaders and the outdoor community in the ongoing fight to preserve Bears Ears and the surrounding landscape as a nationally protected monument. Now, we have a historic opportunity to approve the first public lands management plan informed by a coalition of Tribal Nations.
The plan, known as Alternative E, does not negatively impact access to outdoor sports across Bears Ears. Instead, it prioritizes recreational access while incorporating Traditional Indigenous Knowledge—which has allowed the five tribes of Bears Ears to sustainably manage their ancestral lands for centuries. Join us in supporting responsible recreation and help support Indigenous stewardship of public lands today.
Co-management provides a roadmap for the sustainable conservation of all public lands.
BEITC works to assure that the Bears Ears area will be managed forever with the greatest environmental sensitivity… where we can be among our ancestors… where we can connect with the land and be healed.
