The biggest gathering place for migratory shorebirds in the Intermountain West is drying up. But where there’s still water, there’s still hope of keeping what’s left.
UDOT recently partnered with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Sageland Collaborative, and Utah State University’s Beaver Ecology and Relocation Collaborative to install three pond levelers along Beaver Creek in Logan Canyon.
The Intermountain West Shorebird Survey is putting data behind what birders and scientists have witnessed firsthand: shorebirds are declining at alarming rates. The Great Salt Lake and its surrounding wetlands are a lifeline for these remarkable birds, but with lake levels hovering near historic lows and no concrete plan to bring more water to the lake, that lifeline is at risk.
Now Frolic reporter Cezaryna Dzawala joined the Riverscape team to find out “Why Beaver Dam Analog Watershed Restoration Projects are So Damn Important in Utah!”
Salt Lake Tribune reporter Julie Jag joins state, federal, and conservation partners on a tour of the wetlands surrounding McLeod Creek in Park City to see the unique, low-tech solutions that are being used to conserve water across Utah’s landscapes.
As a way of offsetting the environmental footprint of its Annual Meeting, the Ecological Society of America created the Cultivating Action for Regional Environmental Sustainability (CARES) donation program, which contributes $5 for each meeting registrant to a local project or organization in the region where the meeting is held.
