Take Action to Protect Utah Wilderness!
ECOS works to protect the beautiful redrock landscape of Southern Utah. Our wilderness is gravely threatened by oil drilling, mining, and off-road vehicles. We are working toward the passage of the America's Redrock Wilderness Act, to protect over 9 million acre's of Utah's landscape. Utah's landscape is our most precious treasure. ECOS believes that students have a rightful stake in the future of our state, and will not allow its destruction by special-interest groups. We offer a variety of ways that students can get involved to protect Utah Wilderness! Click here http://www.suwa.org/FAQ/ for an overview of Utah Wilderness, and why it must be safeguarded.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
WRITE A LETTER to our elected officials. Our members of Congress need to hear from students. Click here for sample letter.
