Blog Issue: National Monument Review

Here is one for today President Trump just announced an executive order that will take any National Monument established from 1996-2017 and more than 100,000 acres or more into review. So any park created over the last 21 years is now in question. The current status is that they need to be reviewed within the next 120 days and Bears Ears Monument in the next 45 days. After each of the Monuments fitting the criteria have been looked at there maybe some changes coming their way. They will still be considered a National Monument but the sizes might be changed and the parks modified in some way. Who knows what will happen to these places of beauty, hopefully nothing too drastic happens in the next little while.
