The Bureau of Land Management recently withdrew its approval for a lithium mine near the entrance to Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park following an appeal made by the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. We also hear from our partners at KUNC about Colorado River levels. Plus, we hear from KHOL about changes to Wyoming’s laws about collecting elk antlers.
