About 50,000 acres of Book Cliffs land sold to Utah wildlife agency
FOX 13 reports that Utah's School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration sold more than 50,000 acres of Book Cliffs land in Grand County to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources for roughly $30 million. The land is intended to be managed as a wildlife management area and open space. The report describes the sale as complete and as a first-of-its-kind deal, but it relies on a single outlet and quotes from involved parties, with no independent corroboration.
Why it matters
Open lands that support wildlife can be lost to development, and this sale is intended to keep a large tract managed for wildlife in Utah.
