SUMMARY:Tavaputs Plateau: WSA Protection & Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:**THIS PROJECT REMAINS IN DEVELOPMENT** \n Contact volunteer@suwa.org for more information. \nThe Landscape \nWinter Ridge Wilderness Study Area (WSA) is located on the Tavaputs Plateau within the Book Cliffs in east-central Utah. Relatively shallow canyons within Winter Ridge WSA drain northward toward the Uinta Basin\, altering their directional course to join the Green River as it cuts southward through Desolation & Gray Canyons. Year-round populations of cougar\, elk\, mule deer\, and black bear frequent this remote\, high-elevation region\, in addition to six sensitive animal species including peregrine falcons and bald eagles. \n\nThe Work \nWe will support the Bureau of Land Management’s Vernal Field Office in their efforts to install boundary signage to inform visitors of protected areas and encourage responsible recreation. \nAll work tools will be provided\, including gloves\, eye protection\, and ear-protection. \nProject Rating \nModerate – Expect walking or hiking on uneven terrain; work vehicles will likely be nearby or a short walk away. Project work may include mid- to heavy-lifting\, various tool use such as raking and shoveling\, and potential to carry fencing\, signage or natural materials. \nAll projects take place outdoors: Please consider your comfortability working in remote landscapes at varying elevations and under variable weather conditions. Our team strives to ensure that all projects provide meaningful work for volunteers of all abilities. Please reach out to the Project Lead if you have questions or concerns. \nVolunteers Needed: (8)\nProject Lead: Ellie Swanson\nContact: ellie@suwa.org \nThe Landscape \nDaniels Canyon Wilderness Study Area (WSA) is located along Cub Creek near Dinosaur National Monument in Utah’s northeastern corner. Downstream of the WSA lies Josie Bassett Morris’ homestead that she built and occupied from 1913 to 1964\, offering a glimpse into the area’s reputation of tenacious pioneer settlers – some with a penchant for cattle rustling. This rugged area boasts incredible views toward Dinosaur National Monument and its geologic wonders. \nWe will support the Bureau of Land Management’s Vernal Field Office in their efforts to install boundary signage to inform visitors of protected areas and encourage responsible recreation. \n\nThe Work \nWe will support the Bureau of Land Management’s Vernal Field Office in their efforts to install boundary signage to inform visitors of protected areas and encourage responsible recreation. \nThis project will focus on natural resource protection and off-road vehicle travel and compliance. \nWork task may include: \n\nInstallation of educational signage to prevent future incursions;\nSurface naturalization strategies;\nBuilding or repairing fences to clarify WSA boundaries.\n\nAll work tools will be provided\, including gloves\, eye protection\, and ear-protection. \nProject Rating \nModerate – Expect walking or hiking on uneven terrain; work vehicles will likely be nearby or a short walk away.

SUMMARY:Deep Creek Mountains: Backpacking & Recreation Restoration - WAITLIST
DESCRIPTION:This is a backpacking project designated highly strenuous. Our crew will backpack into site\, camping for (2) nights to complete the project\, then hike out as a team. Though the distances aren’t long (4-5 mile roundtrip) the terrain is uneven and challenging. We will vet our volunteers accordingly. If you have any questions\, please do not hesitate to reach out: volunteer@suwa.org. A dinner will be provided in the basin east of the mountain the evening before the project starts. \n\nThe Landscape \nThe Deep Creek Mountains\, officially the Deep Creek Range (Goshute: Pi’a-roi-ya-bi)\, are a mountain range in the Great Basin located in extreme western Tooele County and Juab County. As the West Desert’s highest landmark\, this range offers a massive elevational gradient between low-lying salt playas and 12\,000 foot peaks between the Snake Valley and Deep Creek Valleys. The range trends north-south\, 84% in Utah and 16% in Nevada\, and is mainly composed of granite. Multiple canyons feature perennial creeks running west to east\, supporting sites of cultural significance found throughout the lush riparian corridors. \n\nThe Work \nThis project will focus on natural resource protection. Our crew will work to rehabilitate and restore wilderness characteristics through a series of approaches such as repairing previously-established boundary signage. This is a backpacking project. \nAll work tools will be provided\, including gloves\, eye protection\, and ear-protection. \nProject Rating \nStrenuous – Expect hiking over uneven terrain. Project work may include lots of lifting and tool use. Strenuous trips often involve large fencing projects in which materials need to be carried into work sites\, or backpacking trips in which participants are responsible for hiking in tools and personal overnight gear to work and campsites. \nAll projects take place outdoors: Please consider your comfortability working in remote landscapes at varying elevations and under variable weather conditions. Our team strives to ensure that all projects provide meaningful work for volunteers of all abilities. Please reach out to the Project Lead if you have questions or concerns. \nVolunteers Needed: (8)\nProject Lead: Talitha McGuire\nContact: talitha@suwa.org \n\nItinerary\nA general itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers in a Welcome Letter. \n\n Dates:  Fri Aug 22 to Sun Aug 24 [Optional Group Dinner on the evening of Thursday August 21]\n\n\nCamping & Meals \nSpecific location of camping site(s) will be provided in the Welcome Letter sent to registered volunteers.
