Welcome

Founded in 1994, the mission of FRIENDS of Great Salt Lake is to preserve and protect the Great Salt Lake Ecosystem and to increase public awareness and appreciation of the lake through education, research, and advocacy. The long-term vision of FRIENDS is to achieve comprehensive watershed-based restoration and protection for the Great Salt Lake Ecosystem.

Every two years, FRIENDS hosts the Great Salt Lake Issues Forum. The goal of each Forum is to illuminate the complexities involved in research, management and planning for the lake, and to encourage constructive dialogue about the future of the Lake’s ecosystem.
