Dear                                       ,

Fisher Towers, Labyrinth Canyon, Factory Butte, Parunuweap Canyon and the lands around Zion National Park are spectacular, wild desert places -- and all are under attack from off-road vehicles and industrial development. The Bureau of Land Management is now deciding the fate of these and other national treasures via land use plan revisions in seven field offices in southern and eastern Utah.

When completed, these seven plans together will affect more than 11 million acres of the public's lands in Utah, including roughly six million acres of wilderness identified by the Utah Wilderness Coalition. Your agency has an opportunity to set a strong example for future land management decisions in the Price, Vernal, Richfield, Moab, Monticello, Kanab and St. George areas by ensuring that these wildlands are protected from off-road vehicles and industrial development.

Citizen groups have submitted Heritage Proposals to the BLM that would protect sensitive wild places while still allowing oil and gas leasing and development in appropriate areas. These citizen-backed proposals also would allocate plenty of room for off-road vehicles to roam on designated routes while at the same time keeping wild places free from noise, tracks and degradation. Under these plans, 10 years from now wild places would still be left in southern Utah for all visitors to enjoy.

I urge you to adopt the Citizens' Heritage Proposals for the Price, Vernal, Moab, Monticello, Richfield, St. George and Kanab field offices.

Sincerely,

Your Name
