To have strong local economies, we must invest in nature. 🌳 💸

For example, across the Sagebrush Sea, ranchers are keeping working lands intact by protecting the open spaces that sustain rural economies. The Nature Conservancy uses tools like conservation easements to support grazing operations, prevent development and generate income for communities—work that has already helped conserve more than 14,000 acres in Utah.

Did it suddenly get a little quieter around here? 🎶🐦 This time of year, songbird activity across the West begins to shift from the sounds of breeding and nesting to a quieter preparation for long distance travel required for fall migration. Birds like the Wilson's warbler (Candellina pusilla), pictured here, are wrapping up their breeding season in higher mountain areas before relocating to Mexico and Central America.

Restoring nature supports rural jobs! 👷 For example, if sawmills can receive a steady supply of reasonably priced logs generated by restoration projects, they can, in turn, offer stable employment. 🪵

These jobs are a game changer in the rural West, where job opportunities are closely tied to the state of our environment. Discover how investing in nature creates rewarding work and boosts local economies 👉 https://nature.ly/4w3n4kk

This time of year, our rivers and streams might be running low, but many fish species are still looking for a good meal, including Yellowstone cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri). 🐟 Native in the western United States, these fish once traveled throughout an estimated 17,800 miles of rivers and streams and inhabited lakes throughout much of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho and into portions of Utah and Nevada. 💧 While lake populations remain stable, Yellowstone cutthroat trout occupy only 43% of their historical river and stream habitat. Since they are sensitive to warmer water temperatures, pollution and damage to habitat, The Nature Conservancy works with a variety of partners to secure and conserve lands, especially near spawning areas, that will buffer rivers and streams to provide shade, hinder erosion and welcome insects key to supporting the species. 🦗

Investing in nature pays off. 💵🌳 The Nature Conservancy is working across the West on projects that support a healthy environment AND a healthy economy,

For example, in Phoenix, AZ, TNC and committed community partners are increasing tree and shade canopy by planting the right trees in the right place. This substantially reduces temperatures, improves air quality, boosts mental health and much more.

Fall migration? But we're in the thick of summer! 🐦 This time of year, phalaropes, including the federally threatened Wilson's phalarope (Phalaropus tricolor), gather along the Great Salt Lake to double their weight with brine flies, brine shrimp and other avian delicacies before embarking on their nearly 4,000-mile journey to salt lakes and wetlands in southern South America.

Volunteer with TNC Utah at BugFest! 🪲 BugFest at the Natural History Museum of Utah is coming up on August 8 and 9, and WE NEED YOU!

We still need 10+ volunteers to staff our activity table for 2-hour shifts during the festival. Entry to the museum is complimentary for volunteers. Celebrating bugs with others is always a hoot! 🐜 Sign up for a shift, bring a friend and join the bug party!

This year the museum is highlighting the Emerald Jewel Wasp, which is featured in their current BugWorld exhibit (not to be missed!). 🐝 At our table, we’ll be celebrating this wasp and the wonderful bees and wasps of Utah with a fun activity. Contact Andrea Nelson at [email protected] to volunteer and then check out this cool event: https://nhmu.utah.edu/programs/bugfest

Here in the West, investing in nature has a big impact on our food and water. 🍅💧

Utah’s Great Salt Lake is a vital ecosystem that supports migratory birds, wildlife and a complex web of life adapted to its salty waters. Brine shrimp are one part of this system, helping sustain both global aquaculture and the species that depend on them. Protecting the lake’s water levels safeguards habitat, biodiversity and the communities connected to its health.

In partnership with producers, The Nature Conservancy is supporting practices that improve efficiency, strengthen local economies and protect resources for future generations.

We love a good story about farmers conserving our water resources here in Utah. 💧 Check out this episode of the Holy Earth podcast featuring the drip irrigation and sustainable farming work of a farm family who lives near the shores of the Great Salt Lake. 🎧 Specifically, they talk about how they are leaving more water for the Lake, as well as inspiring and mentoring other Utah farmers in water conservation.
