LAND PRESERVATION
Preserving our lands mitigates climate change, facilitates biodiversity, celebrates cultural heritage, and supports recreation and our economy.
Sundance Nature Alliance exists to protect our natural world. Through a combination of preservation, conservation, and restoration, we work with partners and allies to insure that the land will endure.

Redford Family Nature & Wildlife Preserve
On October 4th, 1998, a group of community members gathered on a ridge along the Alpine Scenic Loop to celebrate the dedication of the Redford Family Nature & Wildlife Preserve. The ceremony marked the gift of a conservation easement to Utah Open Lands, forever protecting 864 acres of scenic vistas, wildlife habitat, and pristine canyon lands bordering the Mount Timpanogos Wilderness Area.
This Preserve includes mountain wetland meadows, spruce/fir forests, aspen groves, scrub oak, perennial streams, and ponds, providing important habitat for elk, mule deer, moose, cougar, black bear, songbirds, and raptors.
