🌳👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Set down the screens and make time for some real face time with your family!
The park is the perfect place to unplug, play, talk, and create meaningful memories together. Whether it's a picnic, a game of catch, a walk on the trail, or time spent on the playground, simple moments outdoors can help strengthen family connections.

As part of Family Connection Week in Utah (June 8–14), challenge your family to spend more time together and less time on devices. You might be surprised how much fun—and connection—you find.

💚 Where is your favorite local park? Share it in the comments!

🌲📵 Trade Screen Time for Green Time! 📵🌲

As part of Family Connection Week in Utah (June 8–14), take the opportunity to unplug and reconnect with your family outdoors.

Open, ongoing conversations with your children help build trust, strengthen relationships, and support their overall well-being. One of the best places to start those conversations is outside on a walk, hike, or adventure together.

Utah is home to incredible trails and outdoor spaces perfect for making memories and enjoying quality family time. So put the phones away, lace up your hiking shoes, and hit the trail!

Find a trail near you through the Utah State Parks website: https://stateparks.utah.gov/activities/hiking/

💚 Less screen time. More green time. Stronger family connections.

June 8–14 is officially Family Connection Week in Utah! 💙

This week, take a moment to put the devices down and focus on what matters most: connecting with the people you love.

Strong family relationships grow when children feel safe, stable, and supported. Try creating predictable routines, making time for fun, and using positive parenting tools to help children and teens build healthy behaviors.

🔥 Wildfire Season is Here – Is Your Home Prepared? 🔥

Did you know that most homes lost during wildfires ignite from flying embers, not the main fire itself?

Creating and maintaining defensible space around your home can significantly reduce wildfire risk and help protect your family, neighbors, and community.

✅ Clear leaves, needles, and debris from roofs and gutters
✅ Remove dead vegetation and keep grass trimmed
✅ Store firewood and combustible materials away from your home
✅ Keep a safety buffer around structures
✅ Prepare an emergency evacuation plan and Go Kit

Wildfire preparedness starts before a fire begins. Taking a few simple steps now can make a big difference when conditions become dangerous.

Learn more about creating defensible space and preparing your property for wildfire season by reviewing the Ready, Set, Go! Wildland Fire Action Guide.
