Utah Master Naturalist was developed to help you initiate or continue your own personal journey to increase your understanding of, and appreciation for, Utah’s amazing natural world. We will explore and learn aBout the major ecosystems of Utah, the plant and animal communities that depend upon those systems, and our role in shaping our past, in determining our future, and as stewards of the land. Utah Master Naturalist is a certification program developed By Utah State University Extension with the partnership of more than 25 other organizations in Utah. The mission of Utah Master Naturalist is to develop well-informed volunteers and professionals who provide education, outreach, and service promoting stewardship of natural resources within their communities. Our goal, then, is to assist you in assisting others to develop a greater appreciation and respect for Utah’s Beautiful natural world. “When we see the land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.” - Aldo Leopold Participating in a Utah Master Naturalist course provides each of us opportunities to learn not only from the instructors and guest speaKers, But also from each other. We each arrive at a Utah Master Naturalist course with our own rich collection of knowledge and experiences, and we have a unique opportunity to share that Knowledge with each other. This helps us learn and grow not just as individuals, but together as a group with the understanding that there is always more to learn, and more to share.

  • Chapter 3. Affected Environment
    Chapter3: Affected Environment CHAPTER 3. AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.1. Introduction This section describes the affected environment as it currently exists. The discussion is organized by the following major resource topics: air quality and noise, geology and minerals, paleontological resources, soils, water resources, vegetation, wildlife, special status species, land use and transportation, visual and recreation resources, cultural resources, Native American concerns, socioeconomics and environmental justice, and hazardous and solid waste. 3.1.1. Project Area 3.1.1.1. Proposed Pipeline ROW The proposed common carrier pipeline would extend approximately 399 miles from the cluster of five refineries in southern Davis and northern Salt Lake counties, including Holly’s Woods Cross Refinery, to the Apex Industrial Park northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, with two short lateral pipelines, one in Salt Lake County from the mainline to the Salt Lake City Airport, the other from the mainline to a terminal in the Cedar City, Utah area (see Exhibit 1.1-1). In Utah, the proposed main pipeline would originate in Davis County and cross Salt Lake, Tooele, Juab, Millard, Beaver, Iron, and Washington counties. In Nevada, the main pipeline would cross Lincoln County and terminate in Clark County. The main pipeline route would primarily cross BLM (203.79 miles) and private (125.56 miles) lands. It would cross lesser amounts of state (35.84 miles), U.S. Forest Service (17.78 miles), Moapa Band of Paiute Indian Reservation (14.57 miles), and U.S. Department of Defense (2.35 miles) lands for a total of 399.89 miles. The main pipeline route would cross approximately 2 miles of water.

We discuss the uniqueness of southern Utah and the amount of land set aside for recreation and preservation, and we encourage the study and preservation of its water resources. The stonefly (Plecoptera) fauna of 13 counties in southern Utah was sur- veyed. We found 58 species representing 34 genera and 8 families. Three new state records for Utah and many new county records for southern Utah are presented, along with a discussion of distribution patterns and faunal affinities of each species.

  • A History of Sanpete County, Utah Centennial County History Series
    ljj A HISTORY OF . ---- - Allen D. Roberts A HISTORY OF Sanpete I Albert C.T. Antrei Allen D. Roberts -1a Sanpete County is regarded by many as thegw,,laalld' "Heart of Utah"-not just because of its cen- tral geographical location in the state but also because of its treasure trove of historic build- ings and its role in fostering the settlement of nearby valleys. Mormon pioneers arrived in Sanpete Valley in late 1849 to share the area with the San Pitch Utes. Difficulties arose, leading to two major confrontations-the Walker War in the 1850s and the Black Hawk War in the 1860s. The area's Native Ameri- cans eventually were relocated to the Uintah Indian Reservation. -.-"b+sstmFa Among the early Mormon arrivals%&!"a large number of Scandinavian converts, bringing a heritage still important in the county. Protestant missionaries came in the 1870s and established churches and schools, includingWasatch Academy at Mount Pleas- ant. Snow College in Ephraim began as a LDS institution before becoming a state-operated college. The crown jewel of Sanpete County's architectural heritage is the Manti LDS Temple, completed in 1888. Its grounds are the stage for the Mormon Miracle Pageant, which attractsthousands ofvisitors each sum- mer. First known for its grain products, then for its sheep, today turkeys are the staple of Sanpete's agricultural economy.
