Our stories from the past & present
Words of reflection from our people, neighbors, and communities. A voice for trees and wildlife. A tongue for the buried and impaired creeks.
At the heart of Salt Lake City’s Ballpark NEXT initiative is a powerful component: partially daylighting Red Butte Creek, transforming it from a buried relic into a living stream that reconnects people, ecology, and history in the Ballpark neighborhood. This isn’t simply about uncovering water—it’s about revealing a thread of identity that runs deep beneath the urban grid.
We are thrilled to share some incredible news from one of our valued municipal partners—South Salt Lake City has been awarded the Outdoor Recreation Planning Assistance grant! This exciting milestone paves the way for transformative progress along the Mill Creek corridor, specifically between Fitts Park and Granite Park Junior High.
Last week marked the conclusion of a series of Watershed Stories workshops across the Salt Lake Valley, including a powerful gathering at the Three Creeks Confluence. These workshops invited community members to explore their personal connections to water through art, storytelling, and shared experience.
