🚵‍♀️🏍️🏃‍♂️🏇ATTENTION ALL

🚵‍♀️🏍️🏃‍♂️🏇ATTENTION ALL TRAIL USERS: PLEASE READ and PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO PROTECT YOUR FAVORITE TRAILS.

🚵‍♀️. Eagle Mountain, Utah - City Hall is working on a master trail plan, and they need the public’s input on the trails found within the City. Your feedback can help determine what trails are kept and which ones aren’t as the City continues to grow!

🏃‍♂️Attached is a trail database of all the trails currently found within EM City- even trails that private or government landowners HAVEN’T approved. The City’s objective is to collaborate with landowners to the best of their ability to safeguard the trails the public finds most desirable, as they did in preserving the Creed Trail.

🏇The map is interactive. Click on a trail, and a box will open with detailed information about that trail, such as trail type, level of difficulty, if there is landowner conflict with the trail, etc.

🥾To provide feedback:

1. Please download the attached spreadsheet.

2. On the map, find the trail you want to leave feedback on and click it. An information box will open. Annotate the trail’s name found in the “OBJECTID” field of the info box and write it down in column “B” (Trl_nme) on the spreadsheet.

3. Scroll to the right until you see column “AB” (Comments). Please leave your feedback here.

🏍️What type of feedback to include? Anything you think is important. For example, the public widely uses the trail, connectivity issues, and/or trails that can be eliminated for lack of use.

Please email the spreadsheet to EM Wildlife Biologist Todd Black at tblack@emcity.com.

Please email Mr. Black with any questions or leave a comment under this post. Thank you!

Happy National Bird Day! 🐦

Today, we're celebrating the beauty of birds! Their songs, colors, and behaviors are amazing to see and hear - but did you know they're also vital for the health of our ecosystems?

Birds pollinate plants 🌱, disperse seeds 🌼, control pests 🐀🦟, and provide food for other animals.

Unfortunately, they also face a lot of threats like habitat loss. That's why our team works hard to protect native habitats for birds and other wildlife in Eagle Mountain. ❤️

You can always help by donating, volunteering for our projects, or even just spreading the word about our work. Together, we can make a difference for our local wildlife. 🪶

Thanks for your support and happy National Bird Day!

New year, tagged Deer! 🥳 We had a wonderful da

New year, tagged Deer! 🥳

We had a wonderful day tagging 10 mule deer in Eagle Mountain with GPS collars as part of the @utahdwr Mule Deer Survival and Migration Study! 🦌

The sun was bright and we loved working so closely with these amazing animals!

These collars will help us:

- Preserve migration routes
- Assess wildlife crossings
- Estimate survival rates
- Understand how deer navigate our landscape

The safety and well-being of the deer are a top priority. Here’s how they're tagged:

- Helicopters are used to spot and capture them
- Hoods are applied to calm them down
- Body measurements and health samples are taken
- GPS collars are placed for tracking - Vitamins are administered for stress relief - The deer are released back into their habitat!

We couldn't do this without the generous contributions from our sponsors, who "adopted" these deer to support local conservation efforts. Thank you!

Chad Moyes, Cheryl Ray, Eagle @eaglemountaincity , The Eagle Mountain Nature and Wildlife Alliance, @tysonbrand , @saratogaspringsmathnasium , The Real Estate Group, and TruCo Services.

With the help of our donors and sponsors, we were able to raise $6,000 for this project! We also want to thank the @eaglemountainchamber for helping us get the word out. ❤️

We heard about a wildlife sighting in Eagle Mounta

We heard about a wildlife sighting in Eagle Mountain today - a Coyote! 🐾

Here are some fun facts about these cool canines:

🌱 Coyotes are skilled scavengers and enjoy a wide variety of foods, including fruits and plants alongside their usual diet.

🗣️ They have a wide range of vocalizations including yips, howls, and barks.

🐀 They're great at pest control and help to keep areas free of rats and mice.

If you come across a Coyote, remember to give them space! They're generally cautious and often shy away when spotting humans.

If they stick around or come closer, making yourself appear as large and loud as possible may encourage them to retreat. 🐾

Swainson's Hawks are on the move! Have you spotted any in Eagle Mountain this year? 🤗

They usually come to Utah around mid-March, stick around throughout the summer, and leave again around mid-October.

They have one of the longest migrations of any American raptor, flying more than 12,000 miles each year! We'll be missing them as they go enjoy some warmer weather. ❤️

Help protect wildlife by submitting your comment today!

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is making crucial updates to its oil and gas leasing program, and here's why you should care:

🦉 Burrowing Owls, Greater Sage-Grouse, and 300+ bird species rely on BLM-managed lands for their homes. These updates would ensure that wildlife and their habitats are considered before leasing.

📢 Deadline: Friday, September 22.

Take action to support responsible development and wildlife conservation. Your voice matters in protecting our public lands!
