By Lorine Murtagh Ogden Canyon Club Thanks to Bob Clark, the Weber Watershed Project Coordinator, members of the Ogden Canyon Club board now know what the Weber Watershed Project is all about. We would like you to also know. This project entails 1.5 million acres and involves four counties, five conservation districts with 91% of the watershed privately owned. Bob noted that bringing together the residents, agencies and existing projects is a task that will benefit all in improved water quality in the Weber Watershed. Because the Wasatch Front and Back is one of the most urban centers in America, the development and protection of this watershed is critical to a large and healthy population of citizens who work, live and recreate in this region. The Weber River Watershed represents a diverse eco-system of animal and plants. It is also a treasure chest of other natural resources that include fertile farm and ranch land, recreational areas that are the envy of the world, air that has not been impacted by the pollutants of more urban areas and most importantly, a sensitive watershed that is depended upon by rural and the most urbanized communities in the nation. In appreciation of this area, individuals and groups have come together to better understand the long term need 8588 East 100 South Huntsville UT 84317 745-3130 Once in Huntsville - 1 mile east on the road to Monte Cristo for conservation, protection, restoration and education for all residing in the watershed. The Weber Watershed Project committees are aware of the beauty, economic and recreation opportunities this watershed holds for the larger community, while understanding the need for joint efforts of stewardship of this delicate eco-system, and intend to ensure its health for future generations. The project is a collective effort empowering Weber Watershed communities working to improve water quality, and ensure a healthy future for the watershed, thus enhancing quality of life for all. Why should you be concerned about the Weber Watershed Project? Anyone residing in this watershed should understand the “downstream” philosophy of who and what are affecting the end product and the end users of this precious resource. One can only look at tap water to appreciate the value of drinkable clean, clear and pollution free water. In the 21st Century the Weber River Watershed Project will face a new and insurmountable challenge; to assess, restore and protect this area from over development. Over-use and unplanned development of recreational, business and residential enterprises will forever impact the long term viability of the watershed for our children and grandchildren. The Bonneville Resource Conservation and Development Council (Bonneville RC&D) has an education program called DISCOVER that educates everyone, even school age children. This program allows visitors to tour public lands with a ranger, in both winter and summer. It runs a specialized education program for school children focused on watershed health and education—PAWS on Wheels mobile classroom; Project Wet; Project Wild; Project Leaning Tree; and, Adopt A Watershed are a few of the approved curriculums offered.
