Restoring the West Conference on Access Utah Monday

biodiversity and energy in the west, restoring the west conference

 On Access Utah we preview the Restoring the West conference happening Tuesday and Wednesday on the Utah State University campus. The conference will focus on balancing energy development and biodiversity. There's a boom in energy development in many areas of the west, and Tom Williams asks our guests if there is a balance to be found on Access Utah this hour. 

Our guests on the program are: 
 

  • Terry Messmer, USU Wildlife Extension Specialist, Logan, Utah
  • Chris Robinson,Summit County Counsel Member and Landowner, Park City, Utah
  • Steve Bloch, Conservation Director, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, Salt Lake City, Utah
