People of the Great Salt Lake - Stay Curious, Utah!
When we think of the Great Salt Lake we often think of the ecosystems it supports. We may think of the birds, the insects, the plants; but we may forget a key part to this great wetland - the people. Learning more about our place in an ecosystem can help us better connect with that place. Try to discover how you and your students may be connected to the place in which you live.
