President Plans to Visit CA Desert in Move to Designate Massive National Monument

Administration officials have
 accepted Senator Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) invitation to visit the 
California Desert and will attend a public meeting on Tuesday, October 13,
 and consider designating 1 million acres in the area as National 
Monuments.  Senator Feinstein also has pending legislation which would 
not only address the area being considered for National Monument 
designation, but would also statutorily designate 5 OHV areas.

It is inappropriate for the Administration to even consider a National 
Monument designation in the area as Feinstein’s collaboratively 
developed legislation is moving in the Senate (a legislative hearing is 
scheduled on the bill on October 8), and Representative Paul Cook (R-CA) has recently introduced companion legislation in the House.  

Please send an email to the President and the Interior Secretary opposing the designation of 1 million acres of the California Desert as National Monuments.

Take Action

Background:

As it stands, the Antiquities Act of 1906 grants the President the 
authority to designate “…historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric 
structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest that 
are situated upon the lands owned or controlled by the Government of the
 United States to be national monuments.”  The Antiquities Act also 
holds that national monuments should be “…confined to the smallest area 
compatible with proper care and management of the objects to be 
protected…,” yet Presidents of both parties have, in our view, 
inappropriately designated enormous swaths of public lands as national 
monuments.    

Too often when widespread local and Congressional support to designate 
public lands as Wilderness cannot be established, Wilderness proponents 
turn to a strategy of calling for the President to achieve similar goals
 by administratively designating the area as a National Monument. It is 
no secret that those most affected by land use decisions are those who 
live, recreate and make their livelihoods on or near the public lands in
 question.
