NEXT STEPS:  Transfer of Public Lands Movement Educational Study 2020

 

Use the information in this study to engage local, state, and national elected officials in a discussion about the future of U.S. public lands.

 

STUDY QUESTIONS

​

1. Are Utah voters fully aware of the taxpayer dollars spent on this issue?

2. What arguments can local Leagues use to lobby their senators and representatives on this issue?

3. What federal lands affect your community the most?

4. Which organizations can the League partner with on this issue? In what ways can we support them?

5. The Antiquities Act of 1906, used to create National Monuments by presidential proclamation is also under assault by transfer proponents. Since four out of the five National Parks in Utah began as National Monuments, should the LWVUT do a study to examine the impact of the Antiquities Act of 1906 on U.S. public lands?
