New management plans for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument allow destructive pinyon and juniper removal projects to "improve" the land for cattle.

Instead of protecting resources in Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments, new management plans put fossils, cultural resources, wildlife, and wildlands in harms way.
