A concerned community member shared the Utah Lake island builder's fundraising tract with @conserveUV.

LRS has been telling their investors dredging could start next year with land sales in 2025. Nearly $11B of sellable land. Look for yourself. #utpol https://t.co/kKca7LcqAI

Not only is this project harmful to the environment but it is dangerous for the hundreds of thousands of people who would inhabit the islands

New map from @BYU geology professors shows the #UtahLake islands and highways proposal compared to the faults underlying the lake that could cause a >6.5 Richter earthquake. #ImagineUtahLake

We were so excited to see the vote today in the house! An overwhelming majority (68-3) supporting HB240 was a great reminder of the positive leadership we can see in Utah. However, the fight isn’t over. Keep contacting your legislators and let them know you care about Utah Lake!

[Ben Abbott @thermokarst]

Thanks #utleg for your definitive message on Utah Lake!

@KevenStratton's bill passed 68 to 3, requiring legislative oversight, fiscal responsibility, and a fair and constitutional process for all lake projects. The lake can sleep a bit easier tonight. https://t.co/3Kb06xAbUm

Thanks @conserveUV for the helpful conversation about the Utah Lake Authority bill (HB232) being discussed in committee today at 4pm. https://t.co/FFXspCC45Z

I was feeling so worn down yesterday, but then I received a packet of letters from some elementary school kids. It brought tears to my eyes and reminded me why we are fighting for #UtahLake. Thanks to all of you who are working to defend the lake and free speech. #utpol

[Ben Abbott @thermokarst]

Some thoughts about the contrasting approaches of those engaging in the great Utah Lake debate. Thank you @KevenStratton, @conserveUV, and all those helping our community understand what is at stake. #utpol

Wow, what a night! With almost 600 people in attendance we felt the support of our community as we work to protect and preserve Utah Lake.

Last night was a amazing, but remember this is just the start. Let’s keep up the momentum by contacting your legislators!

[Enrique Limón @EnriqueLimon]

An hour in, #RallyForUtahLake ended with @conserveUV’s Christensen calling the 500-plus attendees to the Capitol’s south steps for a commemorative photo

[Conserve Utah Valley @conserveUV]

Please write your legislators and ask them to oppose the Utah Lake Authority Bill (HB232) and support the Utah Lake Amendments Bill (HB 240)

“Our people used this water for many reasons. We carried the water in hand weave baskets. We collected it for drinking, cooking, and cleaning. This lake meant survival for our people and the pioneers who came after.”

Off to a great start learning the difference between true restoration and the restoration Lake Restoration Solutions (the developers) are proposing.

Listen along in person or on our ig/fb live feeds!

We hope you’re getting ready for the #rallyforutahlake. We will be learning about this precious body of water, why it is important both ecologically and historically, and what you can do to help.

[Brig Daniels @BrighamDaniels]

I need your help. Tomorrow I will deliver a petition on behalf of @conserveUV to Utah County Commissioners, asking them to support a public process to consider making Bridal Veil Falls a state monument. Will you sign the petition and get the word out?
