Utah
The focus of the Utah State Conservation Partnership (USCP) is on ensuring the long-term viability of habitat in basins throughout the state. We work to engage a diverse group of stakeholders (e.g., private landowners, municipalities, agricultural producers, other water users, NGOs, and federal and state officials) to protect streams, wetlands and uplands to benefit the people and birds of Utah.
