Why let just one family or company own 13,000 acres of pristine Utah wilderness?


Why don't we, the citizens, make this mountain area everybody's?
Just recently a real estate company, MIRR Ranch Group listed the privately owned parcel Wasatch Peaks Ranch for $46million. Why let just one family own it?  WE ALL CAN!   (extra coin is to pay goFundMe 7.9% per transaction )

Guidance from interested artists, athletes, outdoor enthusiasts & preservation organizations will be paramount to process.

Join together and let's help preserve and mindfully incorporate this land in the community's hands.

But what sort of snowfall does it get? A snowtel station that is fairly close. 

In order to make this dream a reality, we're going to seek directions from you, the supporters, and work with core organizations to make this dream a community reality.

Coming up with enough funds is the challenge, no doubt! 

What happens if the Citizen Mountain purchase becomes a reality?  

A comunity board will be nominated by the visionaires (pst, that means you) - The board will help guide the masterplan and kickstart the process through a series of grant applications. Of course, desinging this new enviroment & securing the additional funding will only be the tip of the iceberg. 

The more obtainable this sublime brainchild becomes, the closer we'll all be to a new model of community triumph.  If you've got a voice, a vision, or a love for the outdoors, pony-up the couch change and let's make Citizen Mountain a reality.

No funds will be deducted or collected unless the full amount of $56,000,000 is achieved by November 2, 2015.
