About Tim DeChristopher
- Timothy Mansfield DeChristopher is an American climate activist and co-founder of the environmental group Peaceful Uprising.
- In December 2008, he protested a Bureau of Land Management oil and gas lease auction of 116 parcels of public land in Utah's redrock country by successfully bidding on 14 parcels of land (totaling 22,500 acres) for $1.8 million with no intent to pay for them.
- DeChristopher was removed from the auction by federal agents and taken into custody, eventually serving 21 months in prison.Saying they had been rushed into auction with insufficient environmental and scientific review, the United States Department of the Interior canceled many of the leases shortly after the auction and a subsequent court injunction.
