Commission presses state on prairie-dog protections after DWR seeks to buy 20-acre parcel near Parowan The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources briefed the Iron County Commission on a proposed 20-acre purchase adjacent to Parowan Wildlife Management Area; commissioners and local landowners pressed DWR for binding management measures, stronger fencing and an expanded baseline survey to protect nearby farms from expanding prairie-dog colonies.
