“The trust has moved quickly to fund projects essential to the conservation of critical wetlands fringing Great Salt Lake. This will pay long-term dividends for communities and lands adjacent to stabilized habitat as well as to the health of the GSL watershed and wildlife populations. By improving and conserving large areas of vital habitat, the Trust has shown its value to the State and fulfillment of its legislative mandate.”
