AN AMERICAN ICON: UTAH’S RED ROCK CANYONLANDS

Petoskey Regional Audubon Society and South of the Straits Sierra Club will co-host a program entitled “Wild Utah: America’s Red Rock Wilderness.” The speaker will be Clayton Daughenbaugh, conservation organizer with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. The program includes a short film: “Wild Utah,” an award winning 15-minute journey through red rock splendor that motivates viewers to participate in the movement to protect these unique and threatened public lands. America’s red rock wilderness draws pilgrims from around the world. It is the largest network of undesignated wilderness lands remaining in the lower 48 states. Their wild character is threatened by oil and gas developments and damage from off-road vehicles.
