Utah Open Lands: Celebrating 35 Years in 2025

We protect the lands you love. From Bonanza Flat to North Round Valley, and Swaner, Utah Open Lands is rooted in the Wasatch Back. Saving more than 25,000 acres of land in Morgan, Summit, and Wasatch county before the first ever open space bond passed, what began as a fledgling local land conservation group in Park City, kickstarted tens of thousands of acres of open space statewide; now more than 67,000 acres protected forever. 

Our work directly impacts your health: water, air, and recreation. We work closely with the groups you value, like Mountain Trails and Basin Recreation, helping make their work possible.

Right now lands that should already be protected hang in the balance. Help us save the lands we all love, and pass this connection forward. This becomes our shared history.
