Summit Land Conservancy

"We walk the trails every day…. Round Valley is our home field, but the Wasatch Back is our playground. We love the places we know and the places we discover. We are so grateful for this special place in the mountains." 

People go to open space for many reasons. Whether it's to hike a breathtakingly beautiful trail, cast a line in the perfect riffle, pursue wildlife in an exciting hunt, or feel the dance of gravity on two wheels, open space brings different-minded people together.

This Live PC Give PC, show your love for the landscapes that help us find common ground. It doesn't matter what you give; it matters THAT you give. 

WHO WE ARE: 

The Summit Land Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2002, dedicated to saving the open spaces of Park City and the Wasatch Back. We are Park City's local, accredited land trust! The money we raise here, stays here!

WHAT WE DO:

We protect and monitor 46 permanent conservation easements on 7,000 acres of land - and we are currently working to preserve an additional 5,000+ acres of landscapes our community cherishes. Some properties we protect include:

• Round Valley
• McPolin Farmlands
• Empire Canyon
• Gambel Oak

WHY WE DO IT:

Our community depends on open land for our lifestyle, our recreation, our food sourcing, and even our drinking water. And yet, without our effort, most of these places are vulnerable to developers. Unlike other Western resort areas surrounded by public lands, our communities are surrounded by private property that is susceptible to development.
