SUMMARY:Grand Staircase-Escalante: Circle Cliffs 2
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 may include: track raking\, rock and natural materials conveyance\, vertical mulching\, sifting and cleaning nonpermitted campsites sign installation\, and additional restoration strategies. All tools will be provided\, including gloves. \nVolunteers Needed: (8)\nProject Lead: Ellie Swanson\nContact: ellie@suwa.org \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nThu Aug 29 – Sun Sep 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\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.
