Last week I published an article about Sage Steppe Wild winning a stay against the Nature Conservancy’s authorization to bulldoze 13 new reservoirs to water the TNC’s cattle in the Indian Creek area of the Bear’s Ears National Monument.
A lot of readers were pretty disgusted with the TNC.
Well, I thought if you fall into that category, tell the TNC directly.
The TNC has a complaint form where you can send them your feedback.
The TNC’s Utah page also lists the main staff for their Utah office.
State Director
Elizabeth Kitchens

Director of Conservation
Kelley Hart

You can find the background and details of the claims in the case here.
For our response to the BLM’s opposition to a stay, you can get it here.
For the court’s order, read it here.
I would send what you put in the complaint form to all the TNC’s staff via email.
And CC the key BLM decision makers:
Jake Palma – Monticello Field Office Manager jepalma@blm.gov
Nicollee Gaddis-Wyatt – Canyon Country District Manager ngaddiswyatt@blm.gov
Matthew A Preston – Acting Utah State Director mpreston@blm.gov
And if you have the stomach for reading agency bullshit, you can read the BLM’s fictional Environmental Assessment here.
