Comments Needed on Grand Canyon National Park Backcountry Management Plan


Grand Canyon National Park has begun the process of revising their Backcountry Management Plan and they are currently seeking public input in the development of an Environmental Impact Statement.

This is an important opportunity to speak up for wolves and to let the park know that people would like to see wolf recovery as part of the future management of the backcountry and wilderness resources
of the park.
