Summit Land Conservancy

THE LAKE STARTS HERE.

Save land and water for today, tomorrow, and the future.

What if protecting the places you love could help save the Great Salt Lake?

Every drop of water in northern Utah has a story. It begins in the mountains, moves through meadows and farms, follows rivers and streams, and ultimately finds its way to the Great Salt Lake.

That means the health of the lake is connected to the health of the land around us. The mountains where you ride, the meadows where you enjoy wildflowers, the farms that feed our communities, and the streams that start high in the peaks of the Wasatch and flow through our valleys, are all part of the same watershed.

Land and water are connected. And so are we.

Established in 2002, Summit Land Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to saving the open spaces of northern Utah. We protect the wildlife habitat, farms and ranches, wetlands, and scenic views that make up the Great Salt Lake watershed. Conserving these lands helps protect water quality, sustain healthy streams, support working families and keep our watershed resilient for generations to come.

And we're not doing it alone. Through partnerships with farmers, communities, and organizations like Grow the Flow, we're part of a collective effort to protect the land, improve the health of our watershed, and help more water reach the Great Salt Lake.

There isn't one solution to the challenges facing the lake. But every protected acre, every healthy stream, every farmer choosing to send water downstream, and every person choosing to act can make a difference.

Resilience isn't something we wait for. We build it. Together.

THE FOR THE FUTURE FUND.

Summit Land Conservancy is choosing to save more land, and save it faster, through the For the Future Fund, part of our larger $120 million Utah Headwaters Initiative.

Our goal is to protect 36,000 acres by 2028 across northern Utah.

Your donation helps us protect critical open space and leverage public and partner funding to conserve even more land. Together, we can make every dollar go further and build a more resilient future for the Great Salt Lake.

THIS IS OUR WATERSHED. THIS IS OUR MOMENT.
