Utah State Buys Back Wild Land
Description
Utah just pulled off a jaw-dropping land deal—selling 50,000 acres in the Book Cliffs to its own Division of Wildlife Resources for $30 million. The move, backed by a new law from House Majority Leader Casey Snider, ensures the land stays wild, open for public hunting, fishing, and wildlife migration. Local leaders and residents are thrilled, praising the preservation of remote access and natural education. Critics questioned the state buying land from itself, but SITLA’s board insists the land was fairly valued and never generated public school revenue. With mineral rights still held by SITLA and no plans for roads, this could be just the beginning of a bigger conservation push.
