Mission

The Bears Ears Partnership works to protect and build respect for the cultural and natural landscapes of the greater Bears Ears region.

What We Do

To further this mission, we work to create local, regional and national support for greater protection of the Bears Ears National Monument through education, advocating for national designations, supporting smart local policy-making, and organizing research and volunteer service activities.

We also continue to monitor the work and actions of the Bureau of Land Management, US Forest Service, and the Glen Canyon National Recreation area, which are tasked with managing resources in the Greater Cedar Mesa area. With that regard, we offer managers research, guidance and education to see that management maintains wilderness values and protects cultural/archaeological assets, while providing for continued access for local residents and visitors from around the world.
