Commentary: Emery County land bill doesn’t go far enough to protect scenic wonder outside of shrunken Utah monuments
Logan Hastings, a junior double majoring in geography and environmental and sustainability
studies, voiced her concern about recent legislation for public lands in Utah. "This bill is a step in the right direction, but it falls short. Emery County is one
of the most accessible areas to us students. It is the place we go to re-energize
for academic success and build relationships with each other. This bill would jeopardize
that access by leaving sections of world-class scenery and recreation opportunities
unprotected, and further threatening large sensitive areas with increased motorized
routes." Her op-ed was published in the Salt Lake Tribune.
