🌲 Environment
This summer, over 900 wildfires burned more than 160,000 acres across Utah as officials reported nearly two-thirds were started by human activity—mainly from vehicle sparks in dry conditions after a dry winter boosted extra vegetation.
State agencies urged Utahns to follow fire safety tips and use wildfire preparedness resources to lower future risks.
Tribal leaders from the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation held a forum in Ogden yesterday to discuss reclaiming the Bear River massacre site by planting native vegetation and removing invasive Russian-Olive trees.
They said the $13-million project will restore the ecosystem and send water to the Great Salt Lake in coming years.
