Throughout the United States, several states are working simultaneously on bills to help improve the health, access, and productivity of our public lands. These bills are helping to look towards the transfer of those public lands to the states wherein they lie, as a means to help preserve them for generations to come, while still providing for the access we all cherish and the productivity we rely on.

My View: Public Lands in the East and West - Why the Difference?

Posted on ALC Blog by Shelby Thurgood · February 10, 2015 12:37 PM

Large_Federal_Land_Map_2014.jpg

By Ken Ivory

You have likely seen the red and white map - the federal government controls more than 50 percent of all land in the western states, but less than 5 percent of lands in states east of Colorado. Why the difference?

Several have asserted it is because western lands are arid; therefore, the federal government keeps them forever. Oregon, Washington, and Alaska are the states with the most precipitation, and yet they have 53 percent, 45 percent, and 62 percent federally controlled lands respectively. So much for "arid."

Fight is On: Utah Issues Dec. 31 Deadline to Feds

Posted on Videos by Shelby Thurgood · January 16, 2015 10:45 AM

The fight over land ownership between states and the federal government in the US has been brewing for over a century now, as the feds own much of the land in this country. Originally, the feds took much land with the supposed intention of giving it back to the states, but they've failed to do that over the past 100 years. Now, Utah wants its land back, as the feds own about 65% of the state. They've given the feds until Dec 31 to give them back their land, and the feds show no interest in complying. Get the popcorn ready - it's time to fight over land rights in the US. The Resident discusses.

Fight Is ON: Utah Issues Dec 31 Deadline to Feds Over Lands

Posted on News Bits by Ken Ivory · January 03, 2015 4:29 PM · 1 reaction

The national government of Canada is cooperating in good faith and has transferred lands, water and resources to its provinces and territories -- but NOT the United States.  With all that's going on in the world and the economy, shouldn't the federal government focus on doing well those things that only it can do -- like world peace and a sound monetary system? Why won't the federal government honor the very same statehood terms to Utah and the Western states to transfer the public lands that it already honored with all States east of Colorado so that these lands can be managed by those whose lives and livelihoods most depend upon the wise stewardship of the lands?

Word of our federal government's blatantly unequal, discriminatory treatment of the western states is getting out internationally.  Watch and share this RT News Report and, if you are ready to take a stand, Sign & Share this Petition.


Why Utah’s Federal Lands Fight Matters in Oklahoma [and all points East] - Part 5 of 5

Posted on ALC Blog by Ken Ivory · January 02, 2015 11:47 PM

This is the fifth in five-part series about federal lands by Trent England of the Oklahoma Council for Public Affairs - www.OCPAThink.org. 

Legislation adopted in Utah calls on the federal government to transfer certain of these lands to the state. It set a deadline of December 31, 2014.

Just 1.6% of the land that comprises Oklahoma is owned by the federal government. In Utah, where state officials are leading an effort to reduce federal land ownership, that number is 66.5%. Yet there are good reasons why Oklahomans and all Americans should support Utah’s legal and political challenge to Washington, D.C.’s power.

States Can Manage Public Lands - Part 4 of 5

Posted on ALC Blog by Ken Ivory · January 02, 2015 11:23 PM

This is the fourth in five-part series about federal lands by Trent England of the Oklahoma Council for Public Affairs - www.OCPAThink.org. 

Legislation adopted in Utah calls on the federal government to transfer certain of these lands to the state. It set a deadline of December 31, 2014.

A division cuts across the continental United States. In the 11 western states, the federal government owns nearly half the land (47.3%). In the 37 states to their east, just 4% of the land is federal. In five states, including New York, the federal government owns less than 1% of the land. 

Given these numbers, Utah’s insistence that the federal government turn over resource lands in that state is hardly radical. All Utah wants is to be treated like every other state east of Colorado.

This East-West division is the result of a history of federal foot-dragging and eventual reneging on a policy of treating states as equals by giving them control over their own lands (other than those retained by the federal government for a constitutionally enumerated purpose; more on the history is in parts two and three of this series).

State sovereignty at its most basic is the ability of a state to control its own land. Earlier this month, 95 state and locally elected officials joined a variety of experts from 14 states in Salt Lake City to draft and ratify a statement calling for land currently held by the federal government to be transferred to the states. Officials at the summit included Alaska’s Lieutenant Governor Mead Treadwell; Utah Speaker of the House Becky Lockhart and state Senator Jennifer Fielder of Montana.

Polls With Agendas: Don’t Trust Every Poll

Posted on ALC Blog by American Lands Council · September 30, 2014 12:26 PM

questionmark.jpg

Recently the Center for American Progress conducted a so-called bipartisan poll on whether the public thinks it is a good idea to transfer public lands to state control. The following are Carl Graham’s thoughts on this issue.

This is a silly poll designed by a left wing advocacy group and conducted by a Democratic polling firm to support a specific outcome by asking one-sided questions of very few people. If either the Center for American Progress or the polling company were capable of being embarrassed, there would be enough red on their faces to win a Raggedy Ann contest. But as their purpose was simply to advance a point of view, I’m sure they consider their effort a success.

Update from Sen. Fielder: No Losers in Public Land Transfer

Road-Closed-Sign-IMAGE.jpg

“There are no losers to what we are going to propose,” said Kane County Commissioner Doug Heaton, a founding member of American Lands Council (ALC).

“Let me be really clear about this,” he said as he explained why he has taken a leadership role in compelling congress to transfer federal lands to the states. “We are not AGAINST anybody. We are FOR managing the resources so we don’t actually burn our forests to the ground, destroy our watersheds, or kill millions of animals in the process. We are FOR not putting more pollution into the environment — than all our industrial processes combined — because of mismanagement and the wildfires that are occurring.

#TransferPublicLands “So much bigger than one rancher in Nevada.”

Posted on ALC Blog by American Lands Council · May 05, 2014 9:46 PM

nevada.jpg  

Washington Times, DENVER — Behind the hoopla surrounding Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s standoff with the Bureau of Land Management is a growing resentment over the federal government’s status as the largest landowner in the West.

“This is so much bigger than one rancher in Nevada,” Utah state Rep. Ken Ivory, who heads the American Lands Council, said in an April 23 online debate sponsored by The Salt Lake Tribune.

How much land does the federal government own? A 2012 Congressional Research Survey said the federal government owns about 640 million acres, or 28 percent of the nation’s land mass. Roughly 90 percent of that property is in the West.

Put another way, one out of every two acres in the West is federally owned. In Nevada, the figure is 81.1 percent; in Alaska, 61.8 percent; in Utah, 66.5 percent; in Oregon, 53 percent. In Connecticut and Iowa, the federal government owns 0.3 percent of the land.

BYU Law Review-Fed Govt’s Duty to Dispose of Public

Posted on ALC Blog by American Lands Council · April 07, 2014 12:00 PM

BYU-Law-Review-Fed-Govts-Compact-Based-Duty-to-Dispose-of-Public-Lands.png

Recent legislation passed in March 2012 in the State of Utah — the “Transfer of Public Lands Act and Related Study,” (“TPLA”) also commonly referred to as House Bill 148 (“H.B. 148”) — has demanded that the federal government, by December 31, 2014, “extinguish title” to certain public lands that the federal government currently holds (totaling an estimated more than 20 million acres). It also calls for the transfer of such acreage to the State and establishes procedures for the development of a management regime for this increased state portfolio of land holdings resulting from the transfer. The State of Utah claims that the federal government made promises to it (at statehood when the federal government obtained the lands) that the federal ownership would be of limited duration and that the bulk of those lands would be timely disposed of by the federal government into private ownership or otherwise returned to the State.
