The Utah Botanical Center is home to research and demonstration projects focused on sustainable living in the Intermountain West. Building on a foundation of more than 115 years of Utah State University research, investigations at the UBC evolve to solve emerging problems in our growing state and throughout the region. Studies of water conservation, horticulture, water quality enhancement, wetland ecology, integrated pest management, urban forestry, agriculture, fish and wildlife, highway enhancement, and storm-water management combine to make the center a living laboratory.
