SUMMARY:Canyon Country WSAs 1 - FULL
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nA multitude of wilderness study areas constitute Moab’s periurban wilderness – magnificent in their scope despite an onslaught of pressures from the nearby community’s thriving recreation industry. Vast proposed wildernesses features are cut by canyons drawn by perennial streams and ephemeral washes\, lush with riparian vegetation. Pinyon-juniper forest fills out the higher elevations\, above an expanse of Navajo sandstone domes\, fins and arches. \nOff-road vehicle use\, mountain biking\, and popular hiking routes flank the wilderness study area\, putting pressure on boundaries and jeopardizing the integrity of the resource. We work with the local Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to manage for these recreation impacts where they impede upon wilderness-quality lands.  \n\nThe Work \nThis project will including fence building and off-road vehicle travel and compliance\, remediating where appropriate. Illegal travel and impacts in and adjacent to WSAs will be remediated with a variety of techniques\, including: \n\nRaking\, vertical mulching\, and other surface naturalization strategies;\nPlacing heavy stone and downed logs to naturalize the impacted travel area;\nInstallation of education signage to prevent future incursions.\nBuilding fences to clarify WSA boundary\n\nVolunteers Needed: (8)\nProject Lead: Talitha McGuire & Ellie Swanson\nContact: talitha@suwa.org \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nSat Mar 16 – Sun Mar 17\n\n\nProject Rating  \nLevel 2 – Our most common trip incorporates mid- to heavy-lifting\, work in remote landscapes at varying elevations\, an increased diversity of tool use\, and an emphasis on physical fitness and hiking competency. \n\nCamping & Meals \nSpecific location of camping site(s) will be provided in the Welcome Letter sent to registered volunteers. \nSUWA provides select meals\, snacks and drinks during the project.
