Had this emailed to me from a 4wheeling buddy. Last paragraph is key. Without further investigation, it seems like BS.
"We also turn to you for action because unfortunately, Greater Canyonlands is endangered. Federal land useplans inappropriately open scenic and undeveloped land to drilling and mining and fail to address exploding
off-road vehicle use that is damaging riparian areas, cultural sites, soils and solitude. Now, the state of Utah is
demanding that the federal government turn over 30 million acres of federal land for potential development
and/or privatization and is asserting the right to expand and pave 40,000 miles of dirt routes and trails that crisscross Utah’s federally-owned wildlands. Both actions would result in the despoiling of Greater Canyonlands"
