“The Western Caucus adamantly and strongly condemns this latest action by the Biden Administration to please radical environmental groups and make the United States even more dependent on foreign adversaries for our energy needs. Over one million acres of land outside of Grand Canyon National Park, which contain the largest uranium deposit in the United States, will be locked up to prevent resource development and livestock grazing. As Chairman of the Western Caucus, I will continue to fight for the multiple use mandate and against unelected bureaucrats who are actively shutting down our public lands.” — Western Caucus Chairman Dan Newhouse (WA-04)

In Episode 378 of District of Conservation, Gabriella focuses on two important stories from Arizona that have national relevance. These include the designation of the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni-Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument and the delisting of the Apache trout– Arizona’s state trout.
