Preserving Our Beautiful Canyon
🌟 Celebrating Our Successes! 🌟
At Save Red Rock, we’re thrilled to share the incredible progress we’ve made in our mission to protect and preserve Red Rock Canyon. Thanks to the support of our amazing community, we’ve achieved some remarkable milestones! With your continued support, we can do much more.
🎯 Key Successes:
✅Red Rock Legacy Trail: Since 2017, the Legacy Trails partnership has raised over $100M to fund the trail system, which will hopefully break ground in 2025.
✅Recreational Safety: Save Red Rock was founded in memory of a cyclist who tragically lost his life riding through RRCNCA. Since his death, we’ve helped to reduce the speed limit on the Scenic Byway, reduce truck traffic, increase the shoulder width to 12 feet, and resurface roads with traffic calming devices and reflective strips.
✅Conservation: In just the last two years, we’ve helped relieve a drought-stricken landscape by partnering with DRI to generate more than 2 billion gallons of additional, naturally-occuring precipitation. The flora and fauna of the canyon can’t survive without this precious resource.
Your involvement is making a real difference, but there’s a lot more to be done.

Tamarisk may look pretty, but it’s causing serious issues in many areas:
🚫 Invasive Nature: Tamarisk spread quickly, forming dense stands that outcompete and crowd out native plants.
💧 Water Consumption: These plants use a lot of water, depleting local resources and leaving less for native vegetation and wildlife, especially in arid regions.
🌱 Soil Alteration: Tamarisk excrete salt through their leaves, which can lead to soil salinization and disrupt native plant growth.
🔥 Fire Hazard: Their dry, flammable foliage increases the risk of intense wildfires, threatening local ecosystems.
🐾 Ecological Impact: By displacing native species and altering habitats, tamarisk harm biodiversity and make survival difficult for animals that rely on native plants. Efforts to manage tamarisk include removal, herbicides, and biological controls to help restore native ecosystems. Together, we can protect and preserve our natural landscapes!

🚨Important Bike Safety Notice:
Recently, a cyclist was tragically struck by a truck near Warm Springs and Parkson Road. This incident highlights the urgent need for safer places to ride. We’re eagerly anticipating the Red Rock Legacy Trail, which will offer a dedicated and secure path for cyclists, aiming to reduce such accidents and keep riders safe.

🚨 Urgent Action Needed! 🚨
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages more public land than any other federal agency, including managing Red Rock Canyon NCA. In spite of that, it is severely underfunded and under- staffed —even though visitation numbers are soaring! 🌍📈
But you can help! Congress is currently deciding the BLM’s budget, and our Time To Care Campaign is here to make sure they know we NEED PROPER FUNDING for this crucial agency. 🌟
Why is this so important? It’s essential to safeguard the unique cultural and biological heritage of our lands, ensure that public spaces are safe and accessible for all, and support long-term, effective management to maintain the health of our landscapes.
📬 Take Action Now: Send a letter to your senators and representatives urging them to increase funding for the BLM. Your support helps protect our public lands for today and for future generations!
