In San Juan County a debate has arisen that will change the look of daily life for everyone who lives here.
SJ County, UT has few people but is 24th largest county in the nation. Most of the land is uninhabited. Right now bill is being pushed to make the 1.9 million acres of wilderness a National Monument.
This monument will take all control and input about the land from the locals, who use it everyday, and give it to the federal government. It will put families out of work, increase access and therefore desecration of ancient and sacred ruins, it will also restrict and prohibit gathering of food, hunting, and cutting wood.
We need these lands. We love these lands.
