Scope and Contents

Noyes (b. 1974) grew up in Salt Lake City, Uah. His family was quite outdoors oriented. His family took many fishing and camping trips, Mirror Lake was a preferred location. He recalls being involved in the Scouting program, and reaching the rank of Eagle Scout. After attending college at the University of Michigan, Anne Arbor, he came back to Utah and got involved with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA). He spoke out against the Olympics for Salt Lake and was involved in the production of the “This Is Not the Place: 2002 Olympics” bumper sticker. Noyes also discusses the Save Our Canyon organization in Salt Lake City and explains that the strength of Save Our Canyon comes from the combination of a completely volunteer board, and a very solid grass-roots activist membership. He also discusses his involvement with the Round River Conservancy, and the upcoming Colorado Plateau project for Round River.
