| The arrival of the NHL in Salt Lake City sets in motion ambitious yet-to-be-revealed plans to give downtown a major makeover. Smith Entertainment Group submitted an application to the city earlier this month to create a Capital City Revitalization Zone under legislation the Utah Legislature passed last month.

| A group of excited elementary students fell into silence as they listened to the extremely loud chorus of singing frogs. Eagerly, they strained to see them, but alas, the performers are quite tiny and hard to spot. This is some of the fun that is offered at the Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve on the eastern shore of the Great Salt Lake. Spanning 4,500 sprawling acres of bogs, birds and frogs, its mostly untouched nature is an increasingly rare occurrence along the rapidly growing Wasatch Front. The preserve is operated and under the stewardship of The Nature Conservancy, a nonprofit organization that seeks to set aside land for people to enjoy now and for their descendants to enjoy later. It has forged a partnership with the USU Botanical Center to promote and operate the program. Read more about what the preserve offers. |
