Scenic Utah

We promote policies that improve Utah's awesome viewsheds, and advocate against visual pollution and corporate welfare for billboard companies.

This #TerribleTuesdays, we travel to the west side of Salt Lake City. These dilapidated billboards block a view of the Wasatch Mountains, blighting the skyline. Thank you Kate, from @Scenic_Utah, for sharing this not-so-scenic-photo. Share yours: https://t.co/FDVcc2N65g

Happy National Camp Day! When we camp in national parks, we go through gateway communities. These communities play a key role as entry and exit points for national parks. We must protect these communities and advocate for proper stewardship and support: https://t.co/fuL2hCEj7X

This #MainStreetMonday we are proud to show you the Beaver Opera House built in 1908. Although it is located on Center Street in Beaver, Utah, it is a landmark few would want to miss. The opera house is built with locally quarried stone called pink tuff.

@JohnBarentine Appreciate this conversation! We’re talking about whether it makes sense to switch over to environmental mastodon or stay on Twitter

@holytoledotyler @MarySchlieder Another thing you can do is contact your legislators and let them know you want to see fewer billboards in our state and hope they won't accept campaign donations from the outdoor advertising industry.

[Scenic Utah @Scenic_Utah]

@holytoledotyler @MarySchlieder The outdoor advertising industry (especially Reagan Outdoor Advertising, also Utah-based) is surprisingly influential in Utah politics. They're one of the largest donors to state politicians and not surprisingly Utah's laws are very favorable to industry.

[Scenic Utah @Scenic_Utah]

Boycott businesses advertising on billboards! (And let them know you're not supporting their business until they find other ways to get their messages out). Thanks, @MarySchlieder!

[Mary Schlieder ✌️💙🌎 @MarySchlieder]

I’ll be boycotting any business advertising on billboards blocking our beautiful Utah scenic mountain beauty and encourage others to do the same. @Scenic_Utah is doing important work and could use more followers.

[Scenic Utah @Scenic_Utah]

And of course, one part of scenic preservation we work the hardest on in is decreasing the visual pollution of excessive billboards blocking the beautiful views of our state. Thank you to everyone who entered, who voted on the audience favorite, and to our judges!

Check out the winning photographs from our First Annual Scenic Utah Photo Contest in this @KSLcom article! https://t.co/XHDVdoRmr3. This contest was a way to celebrate Utah's scenic beauty and draw attention to the importance of scenic preservation.

Utah really is an ugly place and not one of the top 25 best places in the world to visit and National Geographic probably hasn’t even been to very many places and you probably don’t want to come here anyway…🤫😅 #beUTAHful

“I want to make sure that the America we see from these major highways is a beautiful America.”- President Lyndon B. Johnson. Also known as “Lady Bird’s Law,” the HBA requires states to maintain "effective control" over outdoor advertising: https://t.co/eR6oRRaBlO

@TakeDownTheAds Amazing!

And introducing a de-constructed LED 'Tower' . Almost there and the third screen to be taken down.

[AdBlock Dublin @adblock_dublin]

Well this is dystopian

Clear Channel who are active in Dublin are implicated

[Scenic Utah @Scenic_Utah]

@MarySchlieder Thank you, Mary! There are four states that ban billboards altogether and we would love for Utah to be the fifth. And it is grassroots support and spreading the word that can get it done. #banbillboards

[Scenic Utah @Scenic_Utah]

💯

[TDTA @TakeDownTheAds]

What sight could be more pleasing than the de-construction of an LED screen @AdblockLewisham @AdblockManc @AdblockBristol @adfreecities @AdblockHackney @AdblockLambeth @AdblockNorwich @adblock_dublin @AdBlockLeeds @adblockcardiff.

What do traffic and sign clutter have in common? They're both results of urban sprawl. Without thoughtful planning, urban sprawl extends the environmental impacts of civilization over a larger area. Read more about the impacts and solutions:
