Nonprofits and schools are bracing for the fallout of the federal government’s budget-cutting sequestration.

HUNTSVILLE — The large, white barn on Pineview Reservoir’s shore welcomes visitors to the Ogden Valley.

That iconic barn will remain there for tomorrow’s drivers, partly because of work done by a valley nonprofit group, the Ogden Valley Land Trust.

“We protect and preserve,” said land trust chairwoman Jody Smith, “and take care of the land.”

The land trust was one of 16 Ogden Valley charity groups that have been awarded more than $71,000 in the first full year of a new endeavor that focuses on doing good works in this community.
