Some didn’t get Logan wildfire evacuation alerts, but the system worked as designed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Almost two months after the Canyon Road Fire ripped through a hillside near the mouth of Logan Canyon, a gray burn scar filled with ashen plants sits as a stark reminder of how close the flames came to homes. The July 31 blaze, which investigators determined was started by spontaneous combustion in a Utah State University compost pile, prompted officials to evacuate about 100 homes within 1.5 miles of 600 East and Canyon Road. But, according to the city, some in the area reported that although t
This Utah farmer gets paid not to develop. Advocates say it's good for everyone (opens the original)

Every week, Sheri Schiess says she hears from people who are grateful she’s holding onto her farm. Her 25.5 acres in Nibley sits on the corner of 4000 South and 640 West, not far from rapidly developing parts of the town. But Schiess’ vast, open farmland couldn’t feel more different from the nearby hustle and bustle. And because she entered into a conservation easement with the nonprofit Bear River Land Conservancy, that’s not likely to change. “I always tell everybody that comes here this will

After months of back and forth over how close development can be to wetlands, Logan passed new rules this month. Under the city’s previous rules — which were adopted in 2023 — no development was allowed in Logan within 50 feet of wetlands, which sit a few miles west of the city’s busy center. The new ordinance, which the council approved during its Aug. 18 meeting, still requires a 50-foot setback for major roads and commercial or multifamily buildings, but creates new rules for other types of d
