Last week, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation voted to advance devastating changes to the Section 106 process of the National Historic Preservation Act, the law that’s protected historic and cultural places for 60 years.

If adopted, these rules would eliminate public participation in federal preservation decisions and even strip protection from significant landscapes like the Grand Canyon.
