It’s been more than two weeks since President Trump decimated Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears national monuments, the administration is racing ahead with its work to try and erase them from both the landscape and public awareness.
By Tuesday, July 28, signs signifying the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument had also been removed from at least five gateway locations.
The five Tribal seals were removed from the Bears Ears monument signs following the proclamation that terminated the Bears Ears Commission.
