However, crews wrapped up the most recent phase of the project on Monday and are looking ahead to the next steps.
"In the fall of 2022, 262 acres of oak brush were thinned on Salt Lake City-owned land and 70 acres on U.S. Forest Service-owned land located in the Parleys Creek watershed in Parleys Canyon, as part of the project," said Utah DWR and other partners in a joint statement. "Over the next month, an additional 128 acres will be thinned on Salt Lake City lands and 194 acres on U.S. Forest Service lands within this watershed.
An upcoming phase will focus on seeding the area. The project is being done in the Parleys Canyon, which provides about 20% of the water supply to Salt Lake City's residents.
