Dedicated Hunters Assist BLM with Aquatic Habitat Projects

Dedicated Hunters, volunteers, DWR and the BLM worked together to repair fencing and replace signage at Salt Wells Wildlife Habitat Area (WHA), a collection of brackish springs surrounded by salt flats on the north end of the Great Salt Lake.  The fence had been compromised and traffic into the area could affect nesting snowy plovers and other shore birds and waterfowl that use the area. Salt Wells is home to over 60 species of birds. BLM manages the area for waterfowl and shorebird habitat.

New signs are up welcoming and educating visitors to the sensitive resource area. People looking for a place off-the-beaten-path should check out Salt Wells in Box Elder County for solitude, bird watching and duck hunting. Salt Wells WHA is located approximately 40 miles west of Brigham City, The WHA is bordered by the Hansel Mountains on the Wet and the Promontory Mountains on the East. Visitors can access the WHA from the County Road on either the west or east side.
