Volunteers came together in Eagle Mountain on Saturday, November 7, to plant more than 500 sagebrush and other native plants as part of an effort to restore local wildlife habitat.
The event marked the first step in restoring important wildlife habitat in the area. The native plants will help support local wildlife, including mule deer, sagebrush sparrows and sage thrashers. Pollinators like bees and butterflies will also benefit from the restored habitat.
The event was made possible through a partnership between Eagle Mountain City, The Conservation Fund and the Eagle Mountain Nature and Wildlife Alliance. The Eagle Mountain Nature and Wildlife Alliance helped bring volunteers together to support the restoration effort, while The Conservation Fund contributed to the planting project and has also helped protect nearby land through conservation easements.
This restoration project in Eagle Mountain is part of a larger regional effort to restore and protect habitat along the mule deer migration corridor. Nearby, on protected land surrounding the Camp Williams Army National Guard base, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources plans to complete additional restoration work, including planting native vegetation, restoring streams and removing invasive species. These projects will help create healthier habitats for wildlife throughout the region.
