About

LAND SPECIAL DESIGNATIONS THROUGH THE WORK OF OUR CULTURAL LANDSCAPES PROGRAM, THE TRUST STRIVES TO EFFECT CHANGE IN CONCERT WITH TRIBAL COMMUNITIES AND NATIONS. WE AUTHENTICALLY SUPPORT TRIBAL LEADERSHIP AND ALWAYS SUPPORT TRIBAL SOVEREIGNTY. PARTNERSHIPS WITH TRIBAL COMMUNITIES AND NATIONS SERVE AS THE CORNERSTONE OF THE TRUST'S CONSERVATION WORK ON THE COLORADO PLATEAU. THIS WORK EXISTS ALONGSIDE AND IS COMPLEMENTARY TO THE WORK OF DEFENDING AND RESTORING OUR NATIONAL MONUMENTS. THE DESIGNATION OF THE 1.35 MILLION-ACRE BEARS EARS NATIONAL MONUMENT IN DECEMBER OF 2016 WAS AN INCREDIBLE STEP FORWARD. THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN, IF THE TRUST WERE A SINGLE PERSON, WE HAVE BEEN A CONVENER, A COALITION BUILDER, AN ORGANIZER, A RESEARCHER, A POLICY ANALYST, A SCIENTIST, A CARTOGRAPHER, A FILMMAKER, A PHOTOGRAPHER, A WRITER, A LITIGATOR, AND AN ADVOCATE. UNFORTUNATELY, IN DECEMBER 2017, THE U.S. PRESIDENT REDUCED THE SIZE OF THE MONUMENT BY 85% AND DRAMATICALLY NARROWED THE SCOPE OF COLLABORATIVE MANAGEMENT. HE ALSO SHRANK THE BOUNDARIES OF GRAND STAIRCASE-ESCALANTE NM BY 47%. WE FILED LITIGATION OVER BOTH IN 2018. THAT LITIGATION REMAINS IN PROCESS, AND WE CONTINUE TO PLAY A KEY ROLE IN DEFENDING LANDSCAPE PROTECTIONS IN BOTH MONUMENT AREAS. GCT'S GRAND CANYON PROGRAM OPPOSES THREATS TO THE GRAND CANYON AND GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, WHICH INCLUDE CONTINUED URANIUM MINING WITHIN THE GRAND CANYON WATERSHED (SEE ABOVE), INAPPROPRIATE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT ADJACENT TO THE PARK, AND THE DEGRADATION CAUSED BY BISON ON THE NORTH RIM OF THE PARK. THE TRUST PROVIDED CRITICAL SUPPORT TO FAMILIES THAT LIVE NEAR THE CONFLUENCE OF THE LITTLE COLORADO AND COLORADO RIVER, ON THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE GRAND CANYON. THESE FAMILIES, THROUGH THEIR ORGANIZATION SAVE THE CONFLUENCE, HELD OFF THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GIANT TRAM TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CANYON IN 2018. IN 2019, THEY ARE PIVOTING TO PERMANENT PROTECTIVE MEASURES SUCH AS CHAPTER RESOLUTIONS AND NAVAJO NATION RESOLUTIONS. IN LATE 2018, THE TRUST FILED COMMENTS OPPOSING THE AZ GAME & FISH DEPARTMENT'S DRAFT BISON MANAGEMENT PLAN THAT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED BISON TO REMAIN IN GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK AND THE NORTH KAIBAB RANGER DISTRICT OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE ROCK WILDLIFE AREA (HRWA), WHERE BISON ARE PERMITTED UNDER THE KAIBAB NATIONAL FOREST PLAN. MEANWHILE, THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE IS MOVING FORWARD WITH PLANS TO CAPTURE AND TRANSPORT OF BISON OUT OF THE PARK IN COOPERATION WITH THE INTERTRIBAL BUFFALO COUNCIL. PUBLIC LANDS IN 2009, THE TRUST HELPED LAUNCH THE LARGEST FOREST RESTORATION PROJECT IN THE U.S. THE FOUR FOREST RESTORATION INITIATIVE (4FRI) COVERS A 2.4 MILLION-ACRE SWATH OF PONDEROSA PINE FOREST ALONG ARIZONA'S MOGOLLON RIM, STRETCHING FROM THE GRAND CANYON TO NEW MEXICO. ACROSS 4FRI AND THE 650,000-ACRE NORTH KAIBAB RANGER DISTRICT, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE U.S. FOREST SERVICE, CONTRACTORS, AND DOZENS OF PARTNERS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE WILDFIRE, IMPROVE WATERSHED HEALTH, PROTECT OLD GROWTH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT, AND MAKE OUR FORESTS MORE RESILIENT TO CLIMATE CHANGE. CURRENTLY, THE TRUST LEADS DISCUSSIONS AMONG STAKEHOLDERS AND THE FOREST SERVICE FOCUSED ON THE RIM COUNTRY EIS THAT WILL ANALYZE TREATMENT OF AN ADDITIONAL 1.24 MILLION ACRES OF NATIONAL FOREST, AND SUPPORT THE FOREST SERVICE AND OTHER ENTITIES IN ACCELERATING THE RATE OF MECHANICAL THINNING TO 50,000 ACRES PER YEAR. THE STATE OF UTAH FILED A PETITION WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) SEEKING EXEMPTIONS FROM THE FOREST SERVICE'S ROADLESS AREA CONSERVATION RULE TO ALLOW NEW ROAD-BUILDING AND LOGGING UNDER THE GUISE OF REDUCING WILDFIRE RISK. THE ROADLESS RULE IS AMONG THE NATION'S MOST POPULAR CONSERVATION PROGRAMS, AND ROADLESS AREAS PROTECT THE BEST OF THE WEST'S PRECIOUS DRINKING WATER SUPPLIES, PRISTINE WILDLIFE HABITAT, AND REMOTE RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES. AS THE USDA EVALUATES UTAH'S PETITION, THE TRUST WILL WORK WITH OTHER NGO'S AND NATIVE COMMUNITIES TO ENGAGE IN A PUBLIC PROCESS TO PROTECT THE RULE. OUR NORTH RIM RANCHES PROGRAM FOCUSES ON PROTECTING THE ECOLOGICAL, CULTURAL AND SCENIC VALUES OF A VAST LANDSCAPE STRETCHING NORTH FROM THE GRAND CANYON'S NORTH RIM. WE ACCOMPLISH THIS THROUGH DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING SCIENCE-BASED LAND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR ACHIEVING CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION OBJECTIVES. WITH OUR PARTNERS, IN 2018, WE COMPLETED SEVERAL MULTI-YEAR RESEARCH PROJECTS INCLUDING: HABITAT RESTORATION AT CRITICAL SPRINGS AND LAKES, AND CAMERA TRAPPING TO MONITOR WILDLIFE MOVEMENTS ACROSS THE KAIBAB PLATEAU. WE CONTINUED MULTI-YEAR EXPERIMENTS TO CONTROL THE SPREAD OF INVASIVE CHEAT GRASS AND TO UNDERSTAND BETTER HOW IMPORTANT NATIVE TREES MAY BE RESILIENT TO LONG-TERM CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS. GCT'S UTAH FORESTS PROGRAM UNDERTAKES ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS, RESTORATION PROJECTS, AND POLICY INITIATIVES WITHIN THE THREE NATIONAL FORESTS OF UTAH THAT OCCUPY THE COLORADO PLATEAU: THE MANTI-LA SAL NATIONAL FOREST, FISHLAKE NATIONAL FOREST, AND DIXIE NATIONAL FOREST. THE PROGRAM ALSO WORKS WITHIN GRAND STAIRCASE-ESCALANTE NATIONAL MONUMENT, CANYONS OF THE ANCIENTS NATIONAL MONUMENT, AND CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK. IN 2018, GCT PROVIDED LEADERSHIP FOR A DIVERSE-STAKEHOLDER, CONSENSUS COLLABORATION TO SOLVE SPECIFIC UNGULATE GRAZING PROBLEMS: THE MONROE MOUNTAIN WORKING GROUP. ADDITIONALLY, AS PART OF OUR COMMITMENT TO SUPPORT THE NEXT GENERATION OF CONSERVATION ADVOCATES, IN 2018, THE UTAH FORESTS PROGRAM HOSTED SEVERAL INTERNS AND FELLOWS THROUGH OUR VOLUNTEER AND YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM.
