Nurturing New Allies: Faith and the Land — A Call for Wilderness Stewardship

Part of the Round River Conservation Studies Common Lands Lecture Series

People calling for the protection of Utah’s wild landscapes are too often portrayed as “outsiders” or “extremists” who want to “lock up” the land from public use and enjoyment.  The Faith and the Land initiative sought to dispel this false myth by bringing together people from communities of faith as a voice for wilderness stewardship.  Terri Martin of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, joined by representatives from various faith communities, will tell the story of this innovative initiative and offer reflections.
