Utah Environmental Congress

The Utah Environmental Congress is a nonprofit environmental organization started in 1998.  With a staff of three people, we work to protect the National Forests and native wildlife in Utah.   We review the U.S. Forest Service planning documents for projects like logging, drilling, mining, and grazing.  We comment on and appeal decisions to make them as ecologically benign as possible. 

We’ve documented over half of the National Forest lands in Utah as still being wilderness and work to keep them eligible for inclusion into the National Wilderness Preservation System.  We campaign to allow wolves back into their native Utah.  Fiercely independent, our allegiance is to ecological integrity.

We publish a bimonthly newsletter, Sylvan Sentinel, and biweekly email action alerts.
