Learn more about Utah wildfire risk reduction👉🔗bit.ly/UTFire  Across northern Utah, communities at extreme risk of wildfire are reshaping the landscape through proactive, collaborative restoration projects. This transformation reflects the power of the Utah Resilience Fund, an innovative funding mechanism that unites public, private, and philanthropic partners to act before disaster strikes.   By pooling diverse funding sources and coordinating work across public and private lands, the Fund has accelerated wildfire mitigation from mountain headwaters to the Great Salt Lake in order to protect lives, jobs, homes, drinking water, and ecosystems.   This WRI Cities4Forests work delivers lasting outcomes for both people and nature with support from our partners, including Summit County, the U.S. Forest Service, Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, Mountain Regional Water District, the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands, Utah’s Shared Stewardship, Utah’s Watershed Restoration Initiative, Representative Black Moore, Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities, Trout Unlimited, and the Caterpillar Foundation.   ---   WRI’s Cities4Forests initiative helps cities and communities around the world use nature to solve problems.
