SUMMARY:Elk Ridge - FULL
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nWith the designation of Bears Ears National Monument on December 28th\, 2016\, a new layer of protection was granted to some of the most spectacular places in southern Utah. There is Cedar Mesa\, with its incredible canyons running toward the San Juan River. There is White Canyon to the west of Natural Bridges. There are the Bears Ears themselves and the high ponderosa forests of Elk Ridge. To the north there’s Beef Basin and Indian Creek. Nearly 100\,000 archaeological and cultural sites were covered by the proclamation\, with protections afforded to a historied landscape long-neglected and actively undermined by private interests. \n\nThe Work \nWe are returning to Elk Ridge for our seventh consecutive year working with the Manti-La Sal Forest Service on a series of natural resource protection projects. Our work will focus on travel management and dispersed camping within and adjacent to designated wilderness. Work tasks will vary by need and may include sign installation and surface remediation. \nVolunteers Needed: (12)\nProject Lead: Ellie Swanson\nContact: ellie@suwa.org \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nThu Jul 18 – Mon Jul 21\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. Volunteers are responsible for all additional meals not specified in the Welcome Letter 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). Volunteers should plan to be away from camp all day each of the work days. A recommended pack list will be sent along with the project Welcome Letter  (4) weeks prior to the start date. \n\nRegistration & Acceptance Timeline \nA 2024 General Volunteer Application is required for this project. \n \n\nWhen we have received your form\, you will receive a confirmation e-mail within (5) working days of submission.\nIn order to ensure participation by the most diverse applicants\, we log all applications until (8) weeks prior to the project. At this point\, you will first receive a call from our stewardship team to further discuss the project.\nFollowing this call\, you will receive an e-mail confirming whether you have been placed on the “project roster” or a “waiting list.”\nIf you are selected for the project roster\, you will then complete a Volunteer Agreement.\nIndividuals on the Waitlist List will be contacted if space opens due to cancellation within (2) weeks of the project start date.\nAt (4) 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 (when applicable)\, a notification about carpools and/or caravans\, and any additional information pertinent to the project.\nWithin (2) weeks of the project you will receive a direct call from our stewardship coordinator to answer any additional questions you may have.\n\nIf you have any questions at any point throughout the process\, please do not hesitate to contact us here or by calling  (435) 259-9151. \nAPPLY NOW
