Greetings,

Yesterday, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar took an important step to protect the Grand Canyon for future generations. He decided to segregate for two years over one million acres of land adjacent to the Grand Canyon National Park and its watersheds to protect the Canyon and the Southwest's water supply from the ravages of uranium mining. That decision allows proponents of the Grand Canyon Watersheds Protection Act (HR 644), sponsored by Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Az) and Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Az), the time needed to get the legislation passed and provide permanent protection for this iconic national park

This decision was not without controversy and it's important we let the Secretary know we appreciate his efforts. Please take the time to call or email Secretary Salazar and thank him for protecting the Grand Canyon.
