BLACKSMITH FORK RIVER When watershed scientist Janice Brahney and grad student Macy Gustavus go for a hike to take water samples, even in the most remote places, they re always confident they ll find what they re looking for. Yeah, we find plastic in pretty much all of our water samples, Gustavus said, if not all of our water samples.
Brahney used words like alarming and shocking as she described her ongoing research project. An associate professor at Utah State University, she s looking for tiny particles of microplastics in the air we breathe and the water we drink. We re finding plastics everywhere we look, Brahney said, which is really concerning.

The Crockett Avenue Pressurized Irrigation Project would forever change my neighborhood. We love our city rivers and canals and wish them to remain intact in order to preserve some of the beautiful aspects of inner Logan, the beautiful big trees, the ducks and other wildlife, the fishing, walking, hiking, biking, tubing, rafting, and kayaking that are participated in regularly in my area of town. They are central to the charm of Logan and are a reason people love living here.
We have loved taking our children on walks along the Little Logan River, playing and wading in the water, watching ducks and other wildlife, chasing waterskeeters.

It s possible you came across one in a tree along the Provo River Trail or flying around a state or federal bird refuge. They re a majestic creature that can be found throughout Utah in the winter months.
Biologists at the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources say that hundreds of eagles make Utah their home before they fly back north for the summer. For years, the agency held events where novice to expert birdwatchers and nature lovers could gather and view bald eagles and learn about them; however, those events were canceled this year due to COVID-19 concerns.
