We envision a Grand Canyon and Colorado Plateau where:
— Wildness, the diversity of native plants and animals, clean air, and flowing rivers abound.
— Sovereign tribal nations thrive.
— A livable climate endures.
— People passionately work to protect the region they love for future generations. History

The Trust was established in 1985 by Arizona Governor Bruce Babbitt and other leading conservationists as a national trust for projects in the Grand Canyon. Soon after, Trustee Stewart Udall made an impassioned plea that issues do not stop at the boundaries of the Park, and the Trust should be an advocate for both the Grand Canyon and the surrounding Colorado Plateau. The suggestion was adopted and Grand Canyon Trust emerged as a leading regional conservation organization, with offices across the Plateau and extensive connections among policymakers, land managers, scientists, and community leaders. Today, we employ a professional staff of over 40, encompassing a wide range of skills from biology and forestry to economics and law. We have 25 committed Trustees, a national membership of more than 4,000, and an active seasonal volunteer workforce of more than 450 people who assist with restoration projects. Our main office is in Flagstaff, Arizona, with satellite offices in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Denver and Durango, Colorado. Our Work

We focus on the 130,000 square mile Colorado Plateau that features 30 national parks and monuments and 26 wilderness areas — America’s densest concentration of celebrated landscapes. The region is also home to 15 Native American tribes, each with a distinctive and ancient culture. An ongoing strategic planning process helps us choose the most critical projects from among the myriad natural resource and Native American issues. We give priority to projects that have broad implications for public lands policy and offer practical, demonstrable outcomes. We are intentionally collaborative and positive in approach, seeking solutions wherever possible, though we can be very strong in defense of the land when necessary. The Trust is widely respected for getting the facts right and for seeking solutions that will endure.

"Indigenous peoples — both here in the American Southwest and all the way in Madagascar — continue sounding the alarm in a common, growing global struggle against Energy Fuels."

This Saturday marks the decade anniversary of the annual White Mesa spiritual walk in Utah. But on the African island nation of Madagascar, this freedom to peacefully assemble against Energy Fuels isn’t guaranteed.

See you today in White Mesa!
