Your help is urgently needed to stop the Bush administration from
drilling in a
remote corner of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, part of our
Redrock
Wilderness BioGem.

Please go to
http://www.savebiogems.org/redrock/takeaction.asp?step=2&item=52874
and tell the National Park Service to keep oil wells out of this
sensitive area
of Glen Canyon, which is adjacent to two magnificent national
treasures: Grand
Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and Capitol Reef National Park.

Wildlands like Glen Canyon must be kept off-limits to drilling -- and
not just
because, according to the Park Service's own estimates, drilling would
produce
an insignificant amount of oil.

The proposed well would be drilled in one of the most scenic locations
in the
West, in a region renowned for its geological wonders, outstanding
backcountry
recreational opportunities and a rich tapestry of human history. It
would
result in construction of a drill pad, sludge pit and several miles of
road,
which could scar the landscape for decades.

Please go to
http://www.savebiogems.org/redrock/takeaction.asp?step=2&item=52874
and urge the Park Service to conduct a full environmental review and
hold
public meetings before proceeding with the proposed well in Glen Canyon
National Recreation Area. The Park Service is accepting comments until
the end
of July, so we need you to speak out right away.

Thank you for taking action.
