This will give the City time to hire independent consultants to: Review and assess the trails constructed during Phase 1 of the Foothills Trails Plan; Complete essential environmental and cultural studies of the Foothills; and Oversee a comprehensive community outreach program to engage Salt Lake City residents in the process of updating the Trails Plan. The Mayor thanked Save Our Canyons, Save Our Foothills, and the PNUT board ( Parks, Natural Lands, Urban Forestry & Trails Advisory) for bringing critical issues— related to the trails master plan and its implementation—to the attention of the City Council, City staff, and the Mayor’s office, offering the City the opportunity to embark in a new direction that prioritizes environmental protection. https://www.slcfoothills.org/take-action daily 0.75 2021-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b7f0774f0ef07e201e900e/1623112054210-MQAW01ROYQGWCZND1X90/foothills_city_bull.jpg Take Action - Sign the Petition HAVE A VOICE As our city population grows — Where do you want trails built? Shared Trails? Mountain Bike only Trails? Hiking only Trails? Should they be built on Sacred Grounds? How many trails do we need? Should we have a geological review to avoid erosion?

Six more peaks will soon be bulldozed! But, why? The environment will be harmed as another 50 miles of poorly conceived trails are developed.

SLC has some of the steepest mountains and the plan says trail building is “unsuitable” on mountain slopes of 20%. Yet, SLC is zig zagging up 40%, and 55% slopes! This plan will degrade the largest roadless area in the Wasatch. The revised trail plan should identify existing roadless areas and avoid impacting them. All city residents have a right to access and enjoy trails on our public lands. Comprehensive planning, trail maintenance and environmental protection should all be part of our community legacy to preserve and enjoy our foothills and natural spaces together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b7f0774f0ef07e201e900e/1623197762473-GIF9M5L6TPFWKV02PHYE/Quick-Guide_1300_2.jpg Take Action - SLC Trails Survey You can take this survey several times and comment on more than 5 trails.

As our City population grows the Foothills natural lands provide an increasingly critical buffer between the City’s urban center and the nearby wilderness-quality lands. Salt Lake City Public Lands Department is in the process of reviewing a problematic Trails System Plan that was hastily prepared with limited public involvement, inadequate scientific review, and which prioritized trail construction over environmental protection. It is important that you let your elected representatives know that you value balancing environmental protection with responsible and respectful recreation. This Petition will be presented to the Salt Lake City Council and the Mayor who approve and fund Public Lands projects. The petition requests that Salt Lake City create a comprehensive land use and recreation management plan that better reflects our community’s priorities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b7f0774f0ef07e201e900e/59f0406d-ad90-4b0c-9ad5-d53b8e59768c/council-spring-2026.jpg Take Action SPEAK UP The Phase 1 implementation of the SLC Trails Master Plan resulted in significant problems including extensive erosion, spread of invasive plants, habitat destruction, defacing of hillsides, and scarring of the City’s view scapes. Implementation of Phases 2 and 3, which includes the construction of more than 50 miles of additional trails in the Foothills, is scheduled to begin in early 2025. The City Council and Mayor approve the plans and provide funding for these projects. We need your help to ensure that the problems created in Phase 1 are not repeated as the trail development plan moves forward. Please contact the City Council, Mayor’s office, and Public Lands Department, to request that the City: Inventory the 100 miles of already existing Foothills trails. Prepare an updated and science-based Foothills Land Use Management Plan that includes identification of wilderness quality lands and essential flora/fauna habitats. Prepare a comprehensive Foothills Recreation Management Plan, based on actual user data and analysis, to identify areas suitable for different types of recreation. Prepare and fund Maintenance and Management plans for the existing trails network and for any future trail systems. Engage in comprehensive community outreach and outdoor education specific to the Foothills natural lands. Respect the 95% of Salt Lake City residents who, in the 2020-2021 Reimagine Nature Masterplan survey, prioritized “Put environment first.” As a community we can preserve the environmental integrity of the Foothills while responsibly accommodating all Salt Lake City residents who enjoy this unique landscape.

Having historically provided essential resources such as water, wood, stone, and wildlife habitat, the foothills also provide opportunities for recreation, relaxation and reflection. Increasingly, the foothills are being recognized as a unique and irreplaceable public treasure for our expanding and diversifying community. There is a growing awareness that the foothills themselves continue to be profoundly impacted by human activities on the landscapes, presenting challenges for contemporary stewardship. Save Our Foothills has prepared a Land Use and Recreation Management Map to provide a framework that invites diverse recreation while sustainably protecting the ecologically complex natural lands. This creates a buffer between the bustling city and the more remote foothills ecosystems. As part of our vision we have identified six distinct areas on our Land Use and Recreation Management Map, designating varying degrees of recreational access and habitat protection. Recreational opportunities for all user groups are concentrated near the urban/natural lands boundary, providing equitable access. The framework ensures that recreational activities farther from the urban-foothills boundary will be less intrusive. In short, by allowing for respectful and responsible recreation in the Foothills today, this stewardship vision safeguards ecosystem integrity into the future. As part of our stewardship vision we have defined six distinct area types within the Salt Lake City Foothills. These include: Multi- or Shared-Use Areas Pedestrian Only Areas Mountain Bike Use Only Areas Habitat Conservation Areas Currently/Permanently Protected Area a.City Creek Canyon Watershed Management Area and Natural Preserve b.

Map above of the foothills shows the largest roadless area in Salt Lake County, protected from roadbuilding by the U.S. Forest Service — these last vestiges of undisturbed habitat are important for ecological resilience. The Wasatch Mountains are an icon of Salt Lake City, recognized for world class skiing, biking, hiking, birding, and delicious drinking water. We also enjoy the quickest, most convenient access to natural areas and wildernesses of any city in the country. Due to this proximity these precious lands are now threatened; pressure from an increase in population is resulting in heavy-handed reactive development, the spreading of non-native invasive plants, interference with essential riparian areas, and destruction of vital wildlife habitats. SLC Foothills needs your help! We must preserve and restore the Foothills today — for wildlife, plant life, and human enjoyment tomorrow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b7f0774f0ef07e201e900e/1622775479056-ZBZ1T71Z654H3DRHH0NF/map-plan.jpg Trails (Copy) Hike the Foothills Hike the foothills trails above the Avenues and in City Creek to see Phase I damage.
