Conservation Colorado will honor the two tribal organizations fight the Trump administration over public lands in Utah with a gala in Denver in May.

Tickets are on sale now.

The Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition and Utah Diné Bikéyah will be awarded the highest designation from Colorado’s largest environmental organization, Rebel with Cause.

“We would not be able to do this work without our powerful allies in the West,” Scott Braden, the public lands advocate for Conservation Colorado, told the organizer’s 36,000-plus membership last week.

He continued:

These honorees are at the forefront of public lands protection – first by leading the fight to designate the Bears Ears cultural landscape as a national monument in 2016, and now by pushing back after the Trump Administration targeted this monument in its crusade against public lands and slashed 85% of its land area. Despite this unprecedented attack, the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition and Utah Diné Bikéyah continue to organize, educate, and mobilize their communities to regain important ground for their tribes and for America’s natural heritage.

President Trump decided in December to scale back two national monuments in Utah, Bears Ears, designated by President Obama in 2016, and Grand Staircase-Escalante, as outlined by President Clinton in 1996.

The tribes are now fighting the Utah legislature, which is proposing a resolution to remove the state from the federal Antiquities Act to theoretically move the authority to designate and amend national monuments to Congress, instead of solely the president.

The resolution, however, is non-binding, but it’s seen as symbolic of the state’s public lands divide.

Conservation Colorado’s annual fundraiser is May 31 at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Denver.

Admission is a donation, starting at $50 and going up to $1,000, but they’ll take more if you’re eager to support the green cause in Colorado. You can buy tickets by clicking here.

There’s a 10 percent discount if you get your tickets before April 13.

It’s not a bad deal to rub elbows with some of the most important people in the environmental movement in the West. Conservation Colorado leads the green agenda at the statehouse. It’s been around since 1965.

Ticket include a free beer and wine bar, access to silent auction, a dinner and some speeches. For the more committed, there’s VIP reception with hors d’oeuvres.
