Our work gives unremitting, intensive, positive, and challenging input in an effort to restore and protect the natural heritage of southern Utah’s forests.
Grand Canyon Trust founded the Three Forests Coalition, which has brought more than a 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 must — change
- Successful challenges to specific management decisions and projects that would have failed to support or restore healthy, diverse conditions
- Acceptance of numerous proposals we have brought to forest supervisors and their staff
- Avoidance of litigation via positive, negotiated settlements
- Continuous and positive engagement with forest managers
- Rewarding connections with communities, landowners, and permittees
- Collaborative projects with the Forest Service and diverse stakeholders
Your donations and membership dues make our research, monitoring, and restoration work in Utah possible.
