Press Release - Utah Rivers Council Supports Wild and Scenic Virgin River!
The Utah Rivers Council came out today in support of the portion of the Washington County Lands Bill that will designate 165 miles of the Virgin River as Wild and Scenic Rivers.
The Utah Rivers Council protects Utah's rivers and clean water sources
for today's citizens, future generations, and wildlife. The Utah Rivers
Council is founded on a passion for protecting Utah's rivers. We base
our work on the belief that as much as our work is about rivers, it is
also about people.
Healthy rivers, healthy people and healthy communities are intertwined
goals – none of the three can exist without the others. We know that an
informed and engaged public is what will ultimately change the terms of
the debate about the future of Utah's rivers.
If protecting rivers is as much about people as it is about rivers,
then people must be central to our work. And they are. That's why we're
glad you're here. Explore our website to discover how you can become
central to the work of protecting Utah's beautiful rivers!
