The Utah Watershed Restoration Initiative (WRI) is a partnership-based program in Utah to improve high priority watersheds throughout the state. �WRI is sponsored by the Utah Partners for Conservation and Development.� Now completing its 11th year of projects in Utah, the purpose of WRI is to restore and improve watershed health in priority areas across the state. The Watershed Program focuses on three ecosystem values: 1) watershed health, 2) water quality and yield, and 3) opportunities for sustainable uses of natural resources. �This conservation effort enhances and protects Utah�s present and future quality of life by improving water quality and yield, reducing catastrophic wildfires, restoring the structure and function of watersheds following wildfire, and increasing habitat for wildlife populations and forage for sustainable agriculture.� Since 2006, partners have completed nearly 1,500 projects treating nearly 1.3 million acres.�
