## Resource

Utah’s wildlands are burning—and it’s forcing a reckoning. These aren’t just forests or mountains; they’re where families laugh, kids explore, and the soul of the state is shaped. Recent fires expose the cracks in federal management, especially after controversial presidential proclamations reshaped Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante. The real solution? Local control. A new law, the Utah State Parks Adjustment Act, is already shifting land to state hands—putting communities in charge, prioritizing stewardship over politics, and ensuring these sacred places survive for future generations.
