Spring Creek Wilderness Study Area, UT

Nearly 1,000 acres of significant wildlife habitat just a mile north of Zion National Park and adjacent to the Spring Creek Wilderness Study Area were protected through a land exchange negotiated by the Fund in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management. Boasting Mexican spotted owl and northern goshawk, the property will be transferred to the Bureau. As a result of the exchange, about 750 acres of public land near Cedar City will become available for future development.
