Bloom Time! at Red Butte Gardens

Revel in an explosion of color at Red Butte Garden and Arboretum and our dazzling display of more than half a million blooming bulbs, including over 250,000 daffodils. Bring a camera, a picnic, a friend or the little ones to wander the Garden's paved paths or hike a trail in the Natural Area.

Different bulb varieties peak at different times, and can be weather dependent, so visit often this spring to discover what's blooming every day. Spring Bloom Time at Red Butte Garden and Arboretum - Red Butte Garden

All skill levels are welcome to play at the Pickled For a Purpose Classic and you're encouraged to come hungry! Full dinner is included with registration. Guests will be able to order from multiple locally-owned food trucks, and WasteLess will feature a curated spread from our Rescue-to-Table Program showcasing delicious food that might otherwise have gone to waste. Each paid registration also includes two drink tickets, redeemable for beer, wine, specialty cocktails, mocktails, or other non-alcoholic options. A cash bar will be available after drink tickets are used. Every paid registrant will receive one opportunity drawing ticket, with additional chances available at the event. You can register as a two-person team, sign up individually and be paired with a partner, or join us as a spectator to enjoy the food, drinks, and festivities. Kids under 12 attend free, just let us know how many will be joining you when you register. Grab a partner, name your team something clever, and join us for a great night of pickleball and community building - all for a purpose. Learn more and register here:https://wastelesssolutions.org/calendar/other-events/pickleball

Roadless Rule - Salt Lake County Public Hearing RSVP

The Trump Administration is trying to rescind one of the most important protections for our national forests while shutting the public out of the process. The quarter-century-old Roadless Area Conservation Rule protects clean drinking water, dispersed recreation, and some of the best habitat for fish and wildlife anywhere. When the Roadless Area Conservation Rule was first created, the Forest Service held more than 600 public hearings across the country and received millions of public comments. People showed up, spoke out, and demanded lasting protections for their forests. Now, the Trump-appointed leaders of the the Forest Service are trying to rescind one of the most important protections for our national forests, the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, while shutting the public out of the process. That is unacceptable. In response, groups across the country are organizing community hearings to make sure our voices are heard.
