Advocates for School Trust Lands (ASTL) is a non-profit corporation organized to provide information and services to education communities in 24 states. Prior to ASTL, there has been no organization of the beneficiaries of these trusts, though lands were granted for the support of education beginning in 1803. Benefits of these collaborative efforts by education leaders include improved education through increased funding from school trusts, support by education communities for congressional actions that benefit school lands and schools, increased revenue from permanent school funds through investment strategies, provision of information to support the land managers, and assistance in the development of public information about the trust lands and their purpose for the children. ASTL also provides a Utah page with information and links to comparison information (advocatesforschooltrustlands.org/utah).
The School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) manages school trust lands.
You can join the mailing list of the Utah Land Trusts Protection and Advocacy Office which sends out current news and events related to things affecting Trust Lands. As of November 2023 you can email the Communications Specialist, Ashton Hatch at aehatch@utah.gov to subscribe.
