Jordan River Migratory Bird Reserve, includes 120 acres of restored riparian habitat. The reserve provides necessary habitat for neo-tropical migratory songbirds. These birds breed at the reserve and elsewhere in the U.S. and Canada in the summer, and then return to Mexico and Central and South America each winter.
In 2023 CDEA partnered with the Utah Reclamation, Mitigation, and Conservation Commission, the owner of the 132-acre site, to provide K-16 students educational vehicles with which to interact with the site. Three outdoor-classrooms have been placed on the property, and CDEA is developing site engagement activities that range from one- and two-day visits to month-long environmental-education programs that introduce site history and current restoration activities, while involving young people in restoration work and site stewardship.
