Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition

This grant supports BEITC’s multiprong approach to continue protecting the Bears Ears National Monument from resource extraction. BEITC staff will conduct community outreach to ensure community members are educated about the July 2026 proclamation and understand it’s impact on their access to land.

The project supports information gathering, planning, and decision making by tribal leaders and experts with the ultimate goals of setting water quality standards and outlining a collaborative water monitoring program for Bears Ears National Monument.

This project will increase tribal environmental asset control on or near Native lands.
