Wild Places in the Southwest USA @kerrieneet.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Yes. The battle will be in the courts. Earthjustice will be the legal group fighting whether the President has the authority to reduce National Monuments (statute only discusses the ability to designate NMs). I won’t be surprised if Steve Allen is called as an expert witness. 010 0
Wild Places in the Southwest USA @kerrieneet.bsky.social · 07/08/2026From my friend Steve Allen who is a real expert when in comes to public lands & what is out there in Utah. He understands more than most on what downsizing of Bears Ears & Grand Staircase Escalante means. #saveourmonuments #protectpubliclands #bearsears #GSENM #monuments youtu.be/WSxXDsi6lZg?...youtu.beUtah Monument Downsizing Commentary by Steve AllenYouTube video by Ace Allen 1112 0
Wild Places in the Southwest USA @kerrieneet.bsky.social · 02/07/2026A8 #parkchat I think it is very difficult to navigate for historic parks that tell about our painful past. Especially if there is overreaching by an Administration. But there are very important lessons for our future and people learn by experiencing what happened in our past. 150 0
Wild Places in the Southwest USA @kerrieneet.bsky.social · 02/07/2026A5 #Parkchat It is a delicate balance between preserving history and leaving wilderness untouched. I think it is best when people experience things firsthand. The parks are great as they are places where people learn to appreciate both. 071 0

Wild Places in the Southwest USA @kerrieneet.bsky.social · 22/05/2026The desert marigold (Baileya multiradiata) has adapted to the harsh desert environment. One example is their leaves are covered with silver-white hairs. These hairs reflect sunlight and keep the plant cool. #photobyraykenny taken 4/30/26 in #Utah #ColoraDay #YellowThu #bloomscrolling #wildflowers 0401 0
