Why Land Matters
What’s at stake
Every hour, we lose roughly 150 acres of natural land in the United States. That’s more land than the entire Grand Canyon, lost every year.
In RRG land is facing significant development pressure. According to Judge Executive Eddie Barnes, 300+ cabins were constructed in Powell County alone in 2024.
Healthy Land is important for many reasons. In The RRG, the unique geography provides habitat for plants and animals, some of which are found nowhere else in the world. It’s also the place where many of us hike, enjoy exploring and do so much more.
We can act together to preserve land and make a difference today.
