Public lands

Utahns made it clear through the Your Utah, Your Future survey that they envision a future in which we responsibly use the state’s abundant public lands for many different purposes including:

  • Lands being managed to preserve natural ecosystems and watersheds.

  • Lands providing access to recreation that they can enjoy with family and friends.

  • Lands for grazing and other agricultural purposes.

  • Lands for the responsible development of energy, including fossil fuels and renewables.

Utahns see local communities thriving because of the economic benefits provided by public lands, while Rural Utahns are more concerned than other Utahns about public lands being available for grazing and agriculture and maximizing rural jobs and economic development.
