SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A pair of peregrine falcons is once again nesting in downtown Salt Lake City after refusing to settle in a temporary home last year.

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources says the falcons are caring for an egg in a nest near the top of 10-story building in the downtown area.

The falcons have nested in the area since 1986. They refused to use a temporary nest last year that was needed because their usual nest was displaced by a construction project being overseen by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Students at the City Academy's Green School Committe have started up their urban beehive again.

This is the second year the students have studied the work and lifespan of honey bees and how they help our environment.

"It's spectacular. It's so nice that particularly here at City Adademy where the kids are really learning to be connected with the envirorment and their community," said Natalee Thompson with the Wasatch Beekeepers Association.

Kennecott Utah Copper’s Bingham Canyon Mine has
been a part of this community for 108 years. Some
would say that is a long haul. We’d rather look at it as
an impressive beginning.
Join Kennecott Utah Copper to learn more about the
Cornerstone Project, which is our proposed plan to extend
the life of our mining operation to 2028 and beyond.
