It is the intent and purpose of the Emery County Public Lands Council to aggressively preserve the community heritage of Emery County by vigorously participating in and influencing all public land planning and decision-making processes on behalf of, and under authority of the Emery County Commission.

The Public Lands Council will be a forum for open and positive discussion of natural resource/public land issues. County responses to proposed plans and recommendations for future policy will be well thought-out. Where applicable, conflicts between the County and land management agencies will be resolved at the county level.
