We are confronting several critical environmental challenges that will shape the state’s long‑term water security, ecosystem health, and community well‑being

The Great Salt Lake is facing severe shrinkage driven by overuse of upstream water, drought, and rising evaporation rates—creating exposed lakebed that threatens air quality, ecosystems, and Utah’s long‑term water security.

Wildlife and green space are important to every community and a balance must be found between environmental protections and allowing continued growth
