Utah and federal land managers are inching closer to a land exchange that would impact more than 200,000 acres of state and federally managed lands.
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah and federal land managers are inching closer to a land exchange that would impact more than 200,000 acres of state and federally managed lands across the Beehive State.on a plan to acquire 116,000 acres of land managed by the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration, commonly referred to as SITLA, while sending 92,000 acres of the bureau's land to SITLA.
Federal land managers first announced a proposed land swap in July 2022. Sheehan explained last year that the exchange would allow for the bureau to "better protect" the parcels of land near the San Rafael Swell Recreation Area, the Green River Wild and Scenic Rivers Corridor, and the John Wesley Powell National Conservation Area, while Utah public school officials could "potentially grow revenues or consider other future options for land use," too.
SITLA, which was established in 1994, manages 3.4 million acres of trust land that is used for "energy and mineral leases, rent and royalties; real estate development and sales; and surface estate sales, leases and easements,". Its proceeds go back into public education and other education-related beneficiaries.
It also notes that SITLA could increase mineral development, but the impact of the land swap is "anticipated to be minimal due to the low number of mineral leases and limited mineral development potential on these parcels."
