Arch Canyon Ruin
In 2004, the National Trust provided BLM with the financial support needed to stabilize Arch Canyon Ruin, a major Ancestral Puebloan architectural site situated at the mouth of Arch Canyon, Utah.
Weatherman Draw
In 2002, the National Trust intervened after BLM granted an energy company permission to drill for oil in Weatherman Draw, a valley near Warren, Montana. Following lengthy negotiations between the energy company, tribal representatives, BLM, and the National Trust, the company agreed to waive its development rights and donate its leasehold interest in Weatherman Draw to the National Trust.
