SUMMARY:Fall West Desert Service Weekend
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nUtah’s West Desert is a remote\, sprawling collection of magnificent landscapes containing a series of distinctive “island” ranges including the Deep Creek Mountains\, the House Range\, the Wah-Wahs\, Notch Peak\, and more. Spanning several counties and hundreds of miles of remote roads\, many of the regions spectacular features are protected as wilderness study areas (WSAs) and managed by the local BLM. Limited resources and expansive territory combine for a particular need to recruit volunteers to ensure proper monitoring and maintenance of the West Desert’s diverse and unique landscapes. \n\nThe Work \n \nWork schedule and locations are in development and will be announced June 15th\, 2020. \nWork tasks will vary by need\, and are slated to include: \n\ncampsite and route compliance and remediation;\nmanual reclamation of visually disturbed surface\n\nOur Objective: To remediate existing impacts resulting from non-permitted travel and camping. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nFriday\, September 4th: Optional early arrival and camping.\nSaturday\, September 5th: Day 1. Orientation. Travel to initial sites.\nSunday\, September 6th: Breakfast. Day 2 begins.\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 (1) dinner\, (1) breakfast\, and snacks during the project. Volunteers are responsible for all additional meals during their stay. \n\nVolunteer Responsibilities \nParticipants are responsible for their own food\, water and camping gear as well as transportation to and from the project site(s).

The confirmation e-mail will indicate whether you have been placed on the “project roster” or a “waiting list.” \nThree weeks before the start of the trip\, you will receive an RSVP to confirm your participation. Individuals on the Waitlist will be contacted if spaces open due to cancellation. \nTwo weeks before the project start date\, registered and confirmed participants will receive a Welcome Letter\, with a comprehensive itinerary\, including: driving instructions\, a Project Map (for mobile devices)\, a notification about carpools and/or caravans\, and additional information in a Pre-Departure email. \nIf you have any questions at any point throughout the process\, please don’t hesitate to contact our program coordinator: volunteer@suwa.org  or  (435) 259-9151. \nAPPLY NOW

SUMMARY:Cedar Mountain Wilderness Stewardship Project
DESCRIPTION:The Land\n \nThe Cedar Mountain Wilderness is located in northwestern Utah. The vegetation on the upper elevations is dominated by junipers\, hence the name. The Cedar Mountain Wilderness includes more than half of the 180\,000 acres (730 km2) Cedar Mountain Herd Management Area\, where feral horses have grazed since they were introduced in the late 19th century.  A survey conducted in December 1991 counted 444 horses\, and parts of the herd can often be seen on the wilderness where their impacts on native vegetation communities are apparent and widespread. \nCongress designated the Cedar Mountain Wilderness primarily in response to an effort by members of the Utah congressional delegation and governor to block rail access to a proposed high-level nuclear waste storage facility on the nearby Skull Valley Indian Reservation. The project was sponsored by a consortium of nuclear power companies known as Private Fuel Storage. The project was killed in 2012 amid legal obstacles and substantial local opposition. Since that time\, the Cedar Mountain Wilderness has continued to see tremendous ORV impacts – especially during fall hunting season – due to the profligate presence of roads effectively intersecting and dividing the wilderness parcels. \n\nThe Work \nWe will post and restore wilderness boundary signage across the range. We will remediate travel impacts where illegal routes have been created by user activity. \nTasks will include: track raking\, rock and natural materials gathering\, vertical mulching\, sifting and cleaning nonpermitted campsites\, and sign installation. All tools will be provided\, including gloves. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nSaturday\, September 19th: Project\, Day 1 of 1\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\nProvisions \nDue to the COVID-19 Pandemic\, SUWA has suspended our provision of food and water during projects. Volunteers are responsible for all of their water and meal needs through the duration of the project. \n\nVolunteer Responsibilities \nParticipants are responsible for their own food\, water and camping gear as well as transportation to and from the project site(s). Volunteers should plan to be away from camp all day each of the work days. \nA recommended pack list will be sent along with the project Welcome Letter two weeks prior to the start date. \n\nRegistration \nA Volunteer Agreement is required for this project. \n \nWhen we have received your form\, you will receive a confirmation e-mail within 5 working days of submission.

SUMMARY:GSENM Stewardship Weekend - National Public Lands Day
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nThe 1.7 million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is an extraordinary landscape. The monument is world renowned for its remarkable paleontological discoveries\, stunning scenery\, and outstanding recreational opportunities. Local communities have benefited with significant increases in tourism\, new businesses\, population growth\, and higher per capita income. \nSince its designation in 1996\, Grand Staircase-Escalante has come to be known as the “Science Monument”—yielding several new species of dinosaur and other paleontological finds and providing habitat for 650 bee species\, many that are endemic to the area. The area has incredible camping\, hiking and other recreational opportunities. Places like Calf Creek\, Peekaboo and Spooky Canyon\, Coyote Gulch\, and the Hole in the Rock Road are well-known. \n\nThe Work \nOur work will focus on travel management and camping compliance. We will address any signs of camping impacts to natural resources. Tasks will include: track raking\, rock and natural materials gathering\, vertical mulching\, sifting and cleaning nonpermitted campsites. All tools will be provided\, including gloves. \nOur Objective: To remediate existing impacts resulting from non-permitted travel and camping. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nSaturday\, September 25th: Project\, Day 1\nSunday\, September 27th: Project\, Day 2\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. \nDue to the COVID-19 Pandemic\, SUWA has suspended our provision of food and water during projects.
