Utah Valley Community Wins
What sustained community advocacy can accomplish
Bunnell’s Fork
After years of sustained community advocacy, Conserve Utah Valley helped secure permanent protection for Bunnell’s Fork Canyon. A conservation easement approved in 2025 safeguards clean water, wildlife habitat, and lasting public access for future generations.

Bridal Veil Falls
Bridal Veil Falls is an iconic public landmark and recreational treasure that has played a role in the lives of Utah Valley residents for generations. In the not-so-recent past, the falls were the second most visited site in Utah, behind Temple Square in Salt Lake City. Conserve Utah Valley worked with legislators to get the area designated as a state monument, which now provides additional resources for maintaining the area and providing public amenities.
Utah Lake
Utah Lake is one of the largest and most productive freshwater lakes in the western U.S. This keystone ecosystem is the centerpiece of our community, providing critical habitat, abundant recreational opportunities, and invaluable ecosystem services such as removing pollution and creating local precipitation. In this time of dramatic change, we need evidence-based management and legislation to protect and restore this unique, beautiful, and dynamic lake. https://pws.byu.edu/utah-lake
