Our Projects

Utah Map

With the help of our many supporters known as land stewards, Utah Open Lands (UOL) has successfully completed land protection projects that ensures over tens of thousands of acres protected by conservation easements.

By forging working partnerships with landowners, Utah Open Lands has protected over 60,000 acres from development; acreage worth over $50 million under an average annual budget of less than $250,000. This astounding success has been accomplished almost solely through private initiative. Consequently, every dollar donated to Utah Open Lands translates directly into protected lands.

Landowner Info

The hallmark of Utah Open Land’s innovative tools is the conservation easement. A conservation easement is a binding, legal agreement entered into mutually by a landowner and Utah Open Lands for the purpose of protecting the special features of a property by restricting development.
