Summit Land Conservancy saves land that sustains our communities. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2002, we are dedicated to protecting the open spaces of the Wasatch Back from Wasatch to Weber County. We safeguard and monitor our community’s investment in local open spaces by defending 55 permanent conservation easements and two preserves on over 14,500 acres of land—and we’re currently working to save an additional 5,000+ acres of cherished landscapes. We depend on this open land for our lifestyle, our recreation, our food sourcing, and even our drinking water—in fact, the area where we work is the watershed for the Great Salt Lake. The farmland we help protect serves to filter, absorb, and store the seasonal water runoff— keeping it clean while mitigating flooding too. We also support Utah’s rural economy by preserving working farms and ranches, thus enabling landowners to keep their properties in agriculture, maintain a traditional way of life and protect their heritage for future generations.
