At the Authority, we get to enjoy and support healthy watersheds both during work AND after hours. This weekend, staff engineer Lily Bosworth built beaver dam analogs with @sagelandcollab and @UtahDWR to restore a degraded stream. How do you show love to our Utah watersheds?
It's #PollutionPreventionWeek! Natural landscapes & floodplains filter pollutants from point & nonpoint sources, so we’re working hard to restore those natural processes within Utah's damaged watersheds. Learn about the projects at https://t.co/MxK0sc29Pj.

It's hard to believe that the Fall 2023 Intermountain West Shorebird Survey is just a month away!
We got the chance to chat with Erin Lewis with @utahpublicradio about what we observed during the spring survey and how you can get involved!

Sageland volunteer Rob Tolley shares this video of a flock of 50 rosy finches who sought shelter and a snack during a summer storm at their Wyoming home.
Knowing that conservation can happen right in your backyard is the first step to restoring ecosystem functions across our wild-urban interfaces. Douglas Tallamay's book Nature’s Best Hope outlines how to easily create wildlife habitats in your own space.

When you think about pollinators, do you picture bees? Butterflies? Maybe even birds?
While all of these are essential pollinators, there are some other pollinators out there that are a bit more surprising! From bats and beetles to lemurs - which ones are you most fascinated by?
Welcome to #NationalPollinatorWeek!
We’re excited to highlight these incredible species that play an important role in creating healthy ecosystems.
Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing fun facts about #pollinators and ways that you can get involved in pollinator conservation.
Check out this interview from @KRCLradio with @sagelandcollab, @audubonsociety, and @UtahDWR to learn more about the importance of the Intermountain West Shorebird Survey, what we saw this spring, and how you can get involved in the fall!
