Glen Canyon Institute ( GCI ) was founded in 1996 as a charitable 501 ( c ) organization with the mission of restoring a healthy Colorado River through Glen Canyon. Leading the movement to restore this uniquely beautiful place, Glen Canyon Institute immediately began work to conduct scientific studies on the impacts of Glen Canyon Dam, and compiled the results in the Citizen's Environmental Assessment ( CEA ), which was released in 2001. Around that same time, a series of low-runoff years began dropping reservoir levels at Lake Powell significantly, reaching elevation 3555, down 145 feet and only 33% of full, on April 8, 2005. The shrinking reservoir exposed more than 40 miles of the mainstem Colorado and San Juan Rivers, and hundreds of miles of the Glen's 125 major side canyons. The natural restoration of Glen Canyon is now occurring rapidly. Our generation has been given a miraculous second chance to witness Glen Canyon and take part in the restoration of one of our nation's greatest natural treasures. Glen Canyon Institute is working to protect the revealed landscape of Glen Canyon and ensure that the restoration will continue. We ask for your support in this historic effort by becoming a member and/or getting involved in one of our many current projects. Glen Canyon Institute is that is governed by a distinguished Board of Trustees. Our office and staff are located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
