The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has been awarded up to roughly $37.2 million in federal grants that would help benefit fish and wildlife in Utah. “All across the Colorado River Basin, federal investments are providing billions of dollars of critical funding to communities and states to help Western states better manage long-term drought and natural disasters (like wildfires) and to build resilience to hotter and drier conditions,” shares Sara Porterfield, Colorado River Program Director. Sue Bellagamba, Canyonlands Regional Director, emphasizes that the partnership with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and the Bureau of Reclamation, will benefit Utah’s wildlife and rural communities.
