We are a group of landowners and recreational users with deep personal interests in the Modena Canyon and Hamlin Valley area of Western Iron County. We're working to save this beautiful area from destruction by a mining company that wants to turn the canyon's unique geological formations into cement mix.
Help Save Modena Canyon
A St. George mining company is seeking government approval to mine ancient deposits of volcanic rock in the most scenic part of Modena Canyon. Our goal is to mobilize people who care, and to wake up county, state and federal officials to the tremendous harm this project would cause if we're foolish enough to let it happen.
