The Central Wasatch Commission is issuing a reques The Central Wasatch Commission is issuing a request for proposals for a mobility action plan in Big Cottonwood Canyon. The project will create a playbook containing a prioritized list of near-, mid-, and long-term recommendations accompanied by tangible and actionable strategies with potential funding sources and determine the level of NEPA analysis that will leave regional partners well-positioned to pursue funding opportunities and transition immediately into the implementation of the final recommendations. 
 
The CWC is accepting proposals now until August 30th,  2022, and requests that all proposals and attachments be emailed to Blake Perez at: blake@cwc.utah.gov. The request for proposals and background information for proposal submitters may be accessed through the link in our bio:

We are lucky to have beautiful forests throughout We are lucky to have beautiful forests throughout the Wasatch Mountains that help shade the trails and areas we all enjoy. While you are out and about among the trees, make sure to be aware of hazard trees. Hazard trees are trees with structural defects that may cause it to fail in part or entirely. 

To be safe from hazard trees the @u.s.forestservice recommends to:
🌲Be aware of your surroundings. Trees can fall without warning
🌲Avoid dense patches of dead trees
🌲Park close to a main road when driving in remote areas to avoid getting trapped if a tree falls
🌲Camp in open spaces where you will not be at risk if a tree falls
🌲Report hazardous trees so the Forest Service can deal with them
