Conservation Division

The Conservation Programs within the Division work to sustain Utah’s agricultural lands and protect the state’s natural resources. A watershed-wide approach is used to solve resource issues and develop conservation projects and provide funding options from multiple state and federal programs. There are few organizations in the state that rival the work that is done in the division.

Well planned and managed livestock grazing is an important landscape-scale tool for maintaining healthy rangelands, watersheds, and wildlife habitats, and that healthy rangelands contribute to a healthy livestock industry and productive rural economies.

In addition in sustaining Utah’s agricultural lands and protecting the state’s natural resources, as of July 1, 2022, the policy of the State of Utah is to also promote land conservation to protect the states agricultural industry and natural resources through efforts to optimize and preserve use of the land and conservation landscapes.
