Help Save the Roan Plateau from Devastating Drilling
Published on September 11, 2026
Submit your public comment by September 11 to stop this ruinous plan.
The Trump administration is in a mad rush to sacrifice vast swaths of public lands across the American West — including cherished landscapes like Colorado’s Roan Plateau — to the fossil fuel industry, no matter the cost.
The Trump administration is once again putting America’s public lands directly in the crosshairs of industrial development, launching a reckless new push to auction off thousands of acres of wildland for polluter profit. We need your help to mobilize an undeniable public outcry against this mad rush to sacrifice these cherished lands.
WHAT’S HAPPENING
In just one upcoming lease sale, Trump’s Bureau of Land Management is attempting to open nearly 127,000 acres of public lands in Colorado alone — including over 4,000 acres on the top of the Roan Plateau — to reckless oil and gas leasing and drilling. We have until September 11 to submit public comments telling BLM that these lands are not for sale — so we must flood the agency with messages of opposition without delay.
