We have established an Access Utah tradition: On or near Earth Day each year we invite Utah writer Stephen Trimble and other guests to talk about the earth, the land, and the environment.

Is marketing the Mighty Five such a good idea when the lines grow so long at Arches that the park has to close? The state population will double by 2050 and we'll need those lands of refuge more than ever. And the legislature wants to develop them endlessly…” We’ll talk about it with Stephen Trimble, author of “Bargaining for Eden: The Fight for the Last Open Spaces in America,” Ann Whittaker from Utah.com and Ashley Korenblat of Western Spirit Cycling.
