An American Icon: A Wilderness Icon: America’s Red Rock Wilderness

---

Event Summary

Conservation organizer with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA), Clayton Daughenbaugh, will share a program about the efforts to designate public lands in Utah. SUWA has been the only independent organization working full-time to defend America’s redrock wilderness from oil and gas development, unnecessary road construction, rampant off-road vehicle use, and other threats to Utah’s wilderness-quality lands. America’s red rock canyonlands wilderness draws pilgrims from across the country and around the world.  It is the largest network of undesignated wilderness lands remaining in the lower 48 states – at its heart lays the Greater Canyonlands region surrounding Canyonlands National Park.    The program includes “Wild Utah”, a multi-media slideshow documenting citizen efforts to designate public lands in southern Utah's spectacular canyon country as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. This 15-minute journey through red rock splendor, narrated by Robert Redford, invigorates and motivates viewers to participate in the movement to protect these unique lands.  It was made possible through the generous donation of photos, music and words from concerned Utahans who wish to pass this heritage on to future generations.
