Who We Are
Conserve Utah Valley
Conserve Utah Valley is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to protecting and sustaining the treasured canyons, foothills, open spaces, and waters of Utah Valley. Conserve Utah Valley seeks to work collaboratively with all levels of government, the business community, and individuals to preserve spaces that add so much to our quality of life.
History
As Bridal Veil Falls (in Provo Canyon) recently faced serious threats of commercial development, we realized that Utah Valley lacks a cohesive group to speak up on environmental conservation. Many of us who have worked on various conservation issues decided to formally organize in 2020. Our purpose is to influence public policy and laws, engage our neighbors in learning about conservation and encourage them to speak out on important issues.
