Utah's Redrock Wilderness
Joining forces with our longtime partner, the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, NRDC's legal team persuaded the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver to uphold a decision by a Utah district court that protects thousands of acres of stunning redrock country from oil and gas drilling. Industry giants tried to intervene, but the court rejected their last-minute effort, stating that it "would serve only to disrupt the public interest and comes at too high a price."
