Our work provides unremitting, intensive, positive, and challenging input in an effort to restore and protect the natural heritage of southern Utah’s forests.

Utah Forests BlogGrand Canyon Trust founded the Three Forests Coalition, which has brought more than two dozen comprehensive alternatives to the Dixie, Fishlake, and Manti–La Sal forests for consideration.

Our work is making a difference. Reducing the overuse of these forests won’t happen overnight — but it will happen if we maintain a faithful, effective, positive presence. The results of our involvement include:

  • Impressive field work showing where management can — and is — changing
  • Successful challenges to specific management decisions and projects that would have failed to support or restore healthy, diverse conditions
  • Utah’s first-ever beaver management plan (2010)
  • New aspen restoration guidelines that address the causes of  aspen decline on these forests (2011)
  • Continuous and positive engagement with forest managers
  • Rewarding connections with communities, landowners, permittees, and volunteers
  • Successful collaborative projects with the Forest Service and diverse stakeholders
  • Commitments by all three Forest Supervisors to collaborate on new management of the forests’ riparian areas
