Brooke Williams
Northwest Regional Organizer, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance
Indian Creek, near Moab, UT
September 25-28
Brooke Williams, the Northwest Regional Organizer of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, arrived in our Indian Creek camp accompanied by his recently acquired sidekick Winslow Homer; a diminutive tiger striped Chihuahua. Brooke introduced the Westies to SUWA’s goals for the canyon lands region in order to give us a foundation from which to produce multi media projects exploring varying stakeholder perspectives in the region.

SUWA has worked to determine the exact boundaries of pre-existing wilderness areas and is fighting to expand those areas. As the population of earth continues to grow SUWA hopes to defend wild places to provide a silent escape from the chaos of modern life.
