City officials and others gathered on the campus of Dixie Technical College on March 18 for the annual meeting of the Virgin River Land Preservation Association.

Attendees included members of the Ivins City Council. Among the speakers was Ivins Mayor Chris Hart, who described ongoing efforts to conserve land even as plans are being laid for necessary residential use.
