The
Reawakening of the Jordan River...
Envision Utah and the Center for
Documentary Arts invite you...

Did you know that the Jordan
River essentially separated the early
settlement in
the eastern part of our valley from the wild and
wooly west?
A journal entry from explorer
Jedediah Smith noted that crossing the
river (Jordan) presented difficulty and that
he was "very much strangled" in his attempt
(June, 1827). One hundred and eighty-two years later,
the Jordan River unites 15 thriving east/west
municipalities in three counties,
and provides a canvas for a future urban
oasis, with restored wetlands, migratory habitat,
recreational amenities and a draw for
economic sustainability.
Please join us to
celebrate the Jordan River's potential. Envision Utah
and the Center for Documentary Arts invite
you to explore the river's past, present and
future.
Sincerely,
Leslie
Kelen, Executive Director

For Documentary Arts
