Live Monumental: Ohwyee Canyonlands, OR

Footwear brand Keen is advancing a proposition that’s both shockingly simple and casually consequential: collect 100,000 signatures on a single, enormous yellow scroll to protect 5 different U.S. locations as national monuments. With a combined 3 million acres crying out for protection, the boots-on-the-ground, signatures-on-the-scroll roadshow is marching steadily toward Washington, D.C. Powered by Keen but dependent on the people, the LIVE MONUMENTAL petition deserves more than passing interest.

Ohwyee Canyonlands, OR

From Keen:

“This treasured landscape is the largest conservation opportunity left in the Continental U.S. Its area is twice the size of Yellowstone, our nation’s oldest park. This untouched stretch of the American West is awe-inspiring, featuring sheer 1,000-foot desert canyons, 186 miles of designated Wild & Scenic Rivers, incredible red-rock formations, and rich wildlife including our nation’s largest herd of California bighorn sheep as well as mule deer, elk and pronghorn antelope. The vast rolling sagebrush hills serve as one of the last strongholds for the greater sage-grouse, a species already imperiled due to dwindling habitat. Its recreational opportunities are endless, and the solitude and inspiration afforded to visitors is priceless. ”
