Decker Lake Wetlands Preserve Foundation
A project to restore and preserve a portion of the wetlands
in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley. A few decades ago this marshy area
extended from about 2200 West to 5600 West, and from about 2400 South
to 3100 South. It was a habitat for many kinds of ducks and other
water birds. Now all that remains is Decker Lake, a drainage pond
in the heart of West Valley City.
