HERBERT\u2019S DECISION TO RESCIND BEARS EARS PROTECTION<\/p>\n<p>Ventura, Calif. (February 7, 2017) &#8211; \u201cUtah Gov. Gary Herbert signed a resolution on Friday urging the Trump administration to rescind the Bears Ears National Monument, making it clear that he and other Utah elected officials do not support public lands conservation nor do they value the economic benefits &#8211; $12 billion in consumer spending and 122,000 jobs \u2013 that the outdoor recreation industry brings to their state. Because of the hostile environment they have created and their blatant disregard for Bears Ears National Monument and other public lands, the backbone of our business, Patagonia will no longer attend the Outdoor Retailer show in Utah and we are confident other outdoor manufacturers and retailers will join us in moving our investment to a state that values our industry and promotes public lands conservation.\u201c \u2013 Rose Marcario, President and CEO, Patagonia, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Patagonia\u2019s founder, Yvon Chouinard penned an op-ed, The Outdoor Industry Loves Utah; Does Utah Love the Outdoor Industry? in which he stated, \u201cIf Gov. Herbert doesn\u2019t need us, we can find a more welcoming home. Gov. Herbert should direct his Attorney General to halt their plans to sue and support the historic Bears Ears National Monument. He should stop his efforts to transfer public lands to the state, which would spell disaster for Utah\u2019s economy. He should show the outdoor industry he wants our business \u2013 and that he supports thousands of his constituents of all political persuasions who work in jobs supported by recreation on public lands. We love Utah, but Patagonia\u2019s choice to return for future shows will depend on the Governor\u2019s actions. I\u2019m sure other states will happily compete for the show by promoting public lands conservation.\u201d Read the full piece here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patagonia.com\/blog\/2017\/01\/the-outdoor-industry-loves-utah-does-utah-love-the-outdoor-industry\/\"><strong>http:\/\/www.patagonia.com\/blog\/2017\/01\/the-outdoor-industry-loves-utah-does-utah-love-the-outdoor-industry\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patagonia has decided that since Utah Governor Gary Herbert signed a resolution urging the President to rescind the Bears Ears National Monument, they are no longer attending the Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City.
