Utah is one of America's fastest-growing states, and the Governor's office wants to know how residents would like them to manage and direct that growth. This could be the most important survey you take this year!

It is easy to confuse the animal on the left with a chubby prairie dog, shown on the right. But it’s a California ground squirrel, or ‘rock squirrel’ as we call them in Utah. Rock squirrels have greyish mottled fur, with long fluffy tails. Prairie dogs have tiny not-fluffy tails.

What a difference a year makes. The first photo was taken 1 year after a medium-intensity burn. The second photo taken 1 year later. Notice how the oak has grown back! https://t.co/Z7okYxBwEf
