Last Chance to Submit a Comment Regarding National Monuments

In late April, President Trump made an executive order to withdraw designation from over two dozen national monuments, including Canyons of the Ancients in Southwestern Colorado. This action is currently being reviewed by the Department of the Interior and the opportunity for the public to submit comment closes Monday, July 10. KDNK's Raleigh Burleigh and Wilderness Workshop's Will Roush explain.

Raleigh Burleigh was raised in the historic floodplanes of Satank. The Carbondale Rotary Club sponsored him as a youth ambassador to Chile the year before his graduation from Roaring Fork High School. He studied International Affairs and Journalism at the University of Colorado, Boulder then applied those studies traveling throughout South America the following year. Returning to Carbondale thereafter, Raleigh acquired an internship with KDNK News which led to the opportunity to serve as News Director from 2017 to 2019. After another trip to South America in early 2019, Raleigh Burleigh drew deeper into the confluence as Program Director at KDNK. Raleigh now serves on KDNK's board of directors and as editor of Carbondale's weekly newspaper, The Sopris Sun.
