Feb 24, 2023

“On October 22, 2022, it was another mundane, quarterly gathering of technical experts and brine shrimp harvesters reporting data on Great Salt Lake.

Why counting shorebirds may fill a missing piece in the Great Salt Lake conservation puzzle
Aug 18, 2022

The health of the shrinking Great Salt Lake is "a matter of life and death for migratory shorebirds," according to Janice Gardner, Sageland ecologist quoted in a recent KSL article. "However, with the lake's water level dropping to historic lows two years in a row," the article continues, "shorebirds are slowly losing critical habitat."

Learn how Sageland Collaborative and volunteers across Utah helped answer big questions at a recent shorebird survey.
