Construction is now underway for a new learning center outside of Zion National Park that will be the forefront of the park's eastern entrance.
"It's really easy to get in that scarcity mindset and think, 'We need to keep this just for ourselves.' We see that overcrowding that happens in our parks and we hate it because they're not our parks anymore," Cox said, referencing the project's need. "The good news is there is so much more we can do here to share with each other."
That includes the forthcoming discovery center, which will focus on spotlighting the region's ecology, as well as its history from Indigenous times up until more recent agricultural uses. It represents a "new chapter" for the park, Britt said.
