Overview
The Grand Canyon Trust is the principal advocate for the Colorado Plateau, an area comprising the Four Corners region of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona. The region has the greatest concentration of national parks in the United States, including the Grand Canyon. Operating support would help the Trust as it seeks to conserve wild landscapes of the plateau, improve management of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, reduce fossil fuel development, stimulate renewable energy development, and broaden conservation support among the region's Native American peoples. The Trust's work is intended to secure protection for 2 million acres of wilderness in Utah, achieve an agreement to restore 750,000 acres of ponderosa pine forest near the Grand Canyon, and lead to an agreement with Navajo leaders to close the coal-fired Navajo Generating Station and invest in renewables on the reservation.
