Do communities benefit from outdoor recreation? What would happen if community leaders treated outdoor recreation as an opportunity and a public service, similar to a city's roads, police or fire department?

The Great Salt Lake is integral to Utah's ecosystem, and the health of the lake has impacts on much of Utah, the economy, and our quality of life.
Join us at USU Research Landscapes on Thursday, November 3 as we discuss the latest research about the lake, and what the future could look like.
The event will be at 4:00 p.m. at the O.C. Tanner headquarters in Salt Lake City, and will include a question-and-answer session and networking opportunities with other attendees.
Venue Information
Located at 1930 S State Street in Salt Lake City, O.C. Tanner headquarters offers free parking for event attendees. No validation or parking confirmation is required.
The parking area is accessible from State Street or Main Street just south of the building, and the venue entrance is on the southwest corner of the building near the fountain. The door is accessible via stairs or a ramp.
Once inside the building, the presentation room is just around the corner to the right of the reception desk. There will be signage to guide you to the room, as well as a check-in table with event staff where you can ask any questions you might have and collect your nametag.
Light refreshments will be available for the duration of the event, which will begin with a few minutes of networking and conversation as attendees are arriving.
What is Research Landscapes?
At Utah State University Research Landscapes, we provide an entry-point for state and community decision-makers across the Wasatch Front to connect with the researchers who are investigating the most critical issues facing the state.
Why should I attend?
As the state’s land-grant institution, Utah State University is uniquely situated in the state to help solve Utah’s land, water, and air challenges. During the event, the presenters will share data-driven discoveries to provide the state’s decision-makers and stakeholders with tools and insights to address these critical issues.
What is the event like?
Each event will feature a live presentation that highlights the researcher and their work, followed by a question-and-answer session with the presenter.
