SUMMARY:Westwater Canyon Service Project
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nThe Westwater Canyon WSA spans the Westwater Canyon portion of the Colorado River with the eastern two-thirds of these protected lands located in the Dolores Triangle. Major tributary canyons on the east side of the river include Little Dolores\, Marble\, and Star canyons. A short box canyon\, Little Hole\, and a rincon (Big Hole) are the main features northwest of the river corridor. Up on the highlands\, pinyon-juniper woodlands cover over half of the WSA\, with the remaining cover consisting of sagebrush and blackbrush. The canyon itself features unique geologic features including black\, pre-Cambrian rock\, the oldest exposed rock in Utah\, which forms Westwater’s inner canyon. \nLocal land management is facing increased impacts from river camping encroaching into the Westwater Canyon WSA. This travel results in damage to local ecologies\, as well as significant disturbance to the wilderness quality and characteristics. \n  \nThe Work \nOur crew will take to the river to rehabilitate and reclaim stretches of WSA river bank impacted by non-permitted camping. We will naturalize and restore the visual landscape using a variety of techniques including vertical mulching and surface remediation. In addition\, we will remove the remaining stumps of tamarisk trees (the invasive salt cedar) killed in the course of vegetation removal work in recent years. Applicants to this project will be vetted and interviewed in August. 6-8 spaces are available. \nWork tasks will vary by need\, and are slated to include: \n\ninstall naturalized barriers to impacted lands;\nvertical mulching and track/tread raking;\nmanual reclamation (with hand tools) of visually disturbed surface\n\nOur Objective: To remediate the existing impacts of non-permitted camping and prevent subsequent impacts to the Westwater Canyon WSA. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers.  \n\nFriday\, Sept 13th: Camp near put-in (optional)\nSaturday\, Sept 14th: Day 1. Meet at put-in & float to Sunday worksite.\nSunday\, Sept 15th: Day 2. Workday and take out.\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*River experience is preferred. All applicants will be interviewed prior to being assigned a place on this project. \n\nCamping & Meals \nVolunteers will camp at an assigned river campground during the project. Specific location will be indicated in the Welcome Letter provided to registered volunteers. \nA meal schedule is TBD. \n*Please Note: We are required to carry out all [human & other] waste for this project. Appropriate facilities will be provided. \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 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. 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 \n\n

SUMMARY:Canaan Mountain Wilderness Service Project
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nAdjacent to the southeast boundary of Zion National Park\, Canaan Mountain Wilderness is comprised of approximately 44\,500 acres of public land in Washington County. In this wilderness\, an 8-by-10 mile\nblock of Navajo Sandstone\, bounded by 2\,000-foot-high cliffs\, has been sculpted by wind and water over time into a landscape of soaring cliff walls\, natural arches\, and slot canyons. On the highest plateaus\, stands of ponderosa pine are surrounded by cream-colored slickrock. Pinyon pine\, Utah juniper\, scrub oak\, and sagebrush cover the mountain slopes\, at lower elevations. Seeps in the canyon walls provide water for hanging gardens of maidenhair fern\, monkeyflower\, and columbine. Hawks\, falcons\, and golden eagles nest along the sandstone walls\, while ringtailed cats\, deer\, cougar\, and black bear live on the plateaus and in the canyon bottoms.This wilderness provides opportunities for primitive recreational activities\, including hiking\, equestrian trail riding\, canyoneering\, and camping. Several routes exist on the southern end of the wilderness providing access to higher elevations by way of steep canyons. \n\nThe Work \nWe are headed to the remote reaches of Washington County’s Canaan Mountain Wilderness to monitor\, manage and restore wilderness boundary signage. Destroyed or damaged signs and fencing have led to motorized incursions into the wilderness. Our crew will work to define and demarcate protected areas to prevent future impacts of ORV travel. 12 spaces available. \nWork tasks will vary by need\, and are slated to include: \n\nmonitoring hikes of wilderness boundary;\ninstallation of WSA boundary signs;\nremediation of additional travel and camping impacts\n\nOur Objective: To properly manage and improve existing wilderness boundaries with the intent to prevent all future non-permitted motorized travel in the Canaan Mountain Wilderness. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nWednesday\, Oct 16th: [Optional] Pre-Project Campout & Dinner [provided]\nThursday\, Oct 17th: Day 1.

SUMMARY:Avenues Street Fair
DESCRIPTION:Stop by the SUWA redrock activism booth at this year’s Avenues Street Fair. \nThe Avenues Street Fair began in Salt Lake City\, Utah\, in the 1970s as a remodeling tool exchange. It expanded into a home tour event to see everyone’s handiwork with the borrowed tools\, and eventually became a true street fair and is now one of Utah’s premier community celebrations. We hold the Avenues Street Fair on a different street each year to highlight the eclectic architecture and history of the Avenues neighborhoods.  After gaining resident and City approval\, we block off five blocks of one of the Avenues east-west streets\, set up a stage at each end of the fair for all-day live music\, and we fill both sides of the street with 200 booths of local arts and crafts\, food vendors\, government agencies and local non-profit organizations providing information and unique experiences. \nThis year’s event will be held on 2nd Avenue between M and R Streets\, Salt Lake City\, 84103  https://goo.gl/maps/2CbsjuP4EE83GKaHA. \nCome by and learn how we all came together to win wilderness protection for 663\,000 acres of the San Rafael Swell\, Labyrinth Canyon and Desolation Canyon earlier this year! Learn what role\, at any level\, as a volunteer or activist\, you can play in helping to Protect Wild Utah. \nVolunteers needed to help staff SUWA’s booth. Email dave@suwa.org.

SUMMARY:Cottonwood Narrows Service Project
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nThe lands contained within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument provide an “outstanding biological resource\, spanning five life-zones – from low-lying desert to coniferous forest. Deep within this vast and austere landscape\, the Anasazi and Fremont cultures made contact in the period AD 950-1100\, leaving behind rock art panels\, occupation sites\, campsites and granaries. Stepping further back in time\, fossil excavations have yielded more information about ecosystem change at the end of the dinosaur era than any other place in the world.  The Monument’s size\, resources\, and remote character provide extraordinary opportunities for geologists\, paleontologists\, archeologists\, historians\, and biologists in scientific research\, education\, and exploration. This unspoiled natural area remains a frontier with countless opportunities for quiet recreation and solitude” [BLM]. \nThe Work \nAs visitation has increased over recent years\, so have impacts to natural and cultural resources. Achieving camping and travel (hiking and recreation) compliance is a tall order and our service project will support local efforts to ensure managed\, safe recreation protective of the landscape. Our work will focus on the North Cottonwood Narrows trailhead\, where social trails have proliferated\, causing erosion to areas of steep incline adjacent to the official trail. We will define the main trail and remediate the social trails\, posting information signage where appropriate. In addition\, we will travel Cottonwood Canyon Road to remediate the impacts of dispersed camping. \nOn Saturday evening\, we will be treated to programming by our coordinating BLM ranger. (6) spaces are available. \nWork tasks will vary by need\, and are slated to include: \n\ncampsite compliance and clean-up;\ninformational/educational signage installation;\nmanual reclamation of visually disturbed surface/vertical mulching\n\n\nOur Objective: To achieve camping and trail compliance at the North Cottonwood Narrows TH and along Cottonwood Canyon Road. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nFriday\, August 23rd: Optional early arrival and camping.\nSaturday\, August 24th: Day 1. Orientation. Begin project. Group Dinner & Evening Program\nSunday\, August 25th: Day 2. Group Breakfast. Complete Project.\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. \n\nCamping & Meals \nSpecific location of camping site(s) and meal planning will be provided in the Welcome Letter sent to registered volunteers. \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.

SUMMARY:Wilderness Steward Training for Utahns
DESCRIPTION:Transform your recreation into stewardship! \nAcross Utah’s public lands there is a pressing need to ensure that negligent and willfully destructive/illegal activities do not exacerbate other threats to proposed and designated wilderness. Under the present administration\, we have witnessed a rise in blatant or thinly concealed efforts to undermine the integrity of wild places. This\, combined with the expansive growth of Utah’s recreation economies\, is profoundly impacting our public lands. \nSUWA’s Service Program works every year to remediate\, rehabilitate\, and reclaim impacts to the wilderness character of our public lands. Join with us as we expand our Wilderness Stewardship program. Become involved with our public lands monitoring initiative\, increase our on-the-ground presence across Utah\, and help us directly counter increasing threats to our wild places. \n\nJoin us in Salt Lake City and a nearby wilderness site on Saturday and Sunday August 17/18 to train as a volunteer Wilderness Steward with SUWA! \n\nLearn the history and present reality of Utah’s WSAs (wilderness study areas) and lands with other protective designations.\nTrain in the tools\, technology\, and techniques of wilderness monitoring\, with emphasis on natural and cultural resources.\nReview the finer details of the 2019 update to America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act\, our statewide wilderness proposal.\nTrain hands-on to monitor your public lands. Learn how to navigate\, identify\, and collect data to improve practical management\, and how to “read the landscape” for impacts – from motorized to mechanized and more.\nConduct annual monitoring hikes based on need\, the latest field data\, and your proximity to a high priority designated wilderness or wilderness-quality parcel.\nBecome a Wilderness Steward in your community!\n\nThe training is open to all Utah residents willing and able to commit to a minimum annual monitoring hike quota. Wilderness Stewards receive annual monitoring assignments premised upon need\, the latest field data and individual proximity to a high priority wilderness or wildlands parcel. \nInterested applicants may inquire by email. Join the ranks of SUWA’s Wilderness Stewards and help us grow our public lands’ presence from the ground up! Visit our website to Apply Now.

SUMMARY:High Uintas Wilderness Service Weekend
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nLocated in northeastern Utah\, the Uinta Mountains were named for the Uintaat Indians\, early relatives of the modern Ute Tribe. The High Uintas Wilderness envelops the wild core of this massive mountain range. Characterized by the highest peaks in Utah\, countless lakes\, and a unique alpine ecosystem\, it is among the nation’s most outstanding wilderness areas. The High Uintas Wilderness is administered jointly by the Ashley and Wasatch-Cache National Forests. The Uinta Mountains were carved by glaciers from an immense uplift of Precambrian rock. Some of this rock is exposed as colorful quartzite and shales. The main crest of the Uinta Mountains runs west to east for more than 60 miles\, rising over 6\,000 feet above the Wyoming and Uinta Basins to the north and south. Massive secondary ridges extend north and south from the crest of the range\, framing glacial basins and canyons far below. This rugged expanse of peaks and flat-top mountains is the largest alpine area in the Intermountain West. Hundreds of picturesque lakes\, streams\, and meadows lie within sculpted basins. Cold\, clear rivers plunge from the basins into deep canyons that form the headwaters of Utah’s major rivers. The Uinta Mountains rise from 7\,500 to 13\,528 feet at the summit of Kings Peak\, offering diverse habitat for a wide variety of flora and fauna. Above treeline\, tundra plant communities thrive in the harsh climate of the highest altitudes. Thick forests of Engelmann spruce\, subalpine fir\, and lodgepole pine blanket the land below treeline. These forests are interrupted by park-like meadows and lush wetlands. In the lower elevations\, aspen groves and countless mixed species offer contrast to the scene. The Uinta Mountains are home to: elk\, mule deer\, moose\, mountain goat\, coyote\, black bear\, bighorn sheep\, ptarmigan\, river otter\, pine marten\, cougar\, and 75 percent of Utah’s bird species\, among many others. The High Uintas Wilderness boasts 545 miles of trail\, which may be accessed from a number of trailheads surrounding the wilderness near the gateway communities of Duchesne\, Roosevelt\, and Kamas\, UT and Evanston and Mountain View\, WY. This extensive network of trails leads visitors deep into the wilderness\, through thick forests\, past rushing streams and placid lakes\, to sweeping alpine vistas below majestic peaks. [from Wilderness.net] \n  \nThe Work \n \nSince 2005 campfires and wood stoves have been prohibited with ¼ mile of nearly every lake within the Grandaddy and Four Lakes Basins. This regulation aims to protect the ecosystems and ecosystem services afforded by dead and downed woody debris adjacent to coastal areas\, thus preserving the integrity of biotic communities and preventing erosion. Downed wood is important for animal and insect habitat\, soil health\, plant growth\, and aesthetic quality and natural wilderness character. Many years of heavy campfire use and wood collection combined with slow rates of natural recovery have depleted this natural resource. Though informational flyers are posted at trailheads with clarifying information\, additional work is required to maintain\, upkeep and educate on impacts to the lake shore. \n14-16 spaces are available. \nWork tasks will vary by need\, and are slated to include: \n\ncampsite compliance and clean-up;\ninformational/educational signage installation;\nmanual reclamation of visually disturbed surface/vertical mulching\n\nOur Objective: To improve on-the-ground conditions in high use areas along the frontcountry boundary of the High Uintas Wilderness. To remediate existing impacts resulting from nonpermitted camping. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nFriday\, July 26th: Optional early arrival and camping.\nSaturday\, July 27th: Day 1. Orientation. Hike in. Begin project.\nSunday\, July 28th: Day 2. Continue project. Hike out.\n\n\nProject Rating  \nLevel 3 – Heavy lifting\, high-elevation\, remote travel\, and extended durations away from common conveniences. Leave No Trace principles are essential during all of our trips but require the most thought and planning at Level 3. These trips may involve on-site training for technical skills and tool use. Excellent physical fitness is a must at this level. \n\nCamping & Meals \nSpecific location of camping site(s) and meal planning will be provided in the Welcome Letter sent to registered volunteers. \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 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. 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:Bears Ears Service Weekend
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nWith the designation ofBears 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. \nWhile this historic proclamation now stands in jeopardy\, we the people can take action to protect these lands from the ground up\, while honoring and calling attention to the broader need for top-down action. \n\nThe Work \nWe are returning to Elk Ridge for our third consecutive year working with the Manti-La Sal Forest Service on a series of cultural and natural resource protection projects. This year’s multi-day program continues our exclosure work with the aim to promote the regeneration of healthy aspen forests through the management and mitigation of elk and other ungulate browsing on Elk Ridge. In addition\, we will work with a USFS archeologist on cultural site surveying. In addition\, we will perform a series of work projects which aim to manage travel within and adjacent to designated wilderness. Work tasks will vary by need and are slated to include: \n\nCultural/archeological site survey work with USFS archeologists\nBrushing/trailwork on the Wooden Shoe Trail\nRepairing elk exclosure fencing\n\nOur Objective: To protect cultural and natural resources from the impacts of uninformed and willfully negligent people and cattle. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nFriday\, July 12th: Optional early arrival/camping on Friday evening.\nSaturday\, July 13th: Day 1.\nSunday\, July 14th: Day 2.\nMonday\, July 15th: Day 3.\nTuesday\, July 16th: Day 4/Final Project Day.\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  \n\nCamping & Meals \nVolunteers will camp on site at the Gooseberry Meadow on Elk Ridge. A nearby cabin provides select amenities. There is a pit toilet on site.\, \nSUWA provides (1) group meal per day during the project. Volunteers are responsible for all additional meals during their stay. \n  \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).

SUMMARY:Cedar Mountains Wilderness Service Project
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nThe Cedar Mountain Wilderness is located in northwestern Utah. The vegetation on the upper elevations is dominated by junipers\, hence the name. \nThe 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 to block rail access to a proposed high-level nuclear waste storage facility on the nearby Skull Valley Indian Reservation. 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  \n\nThe Work \nWe will be building and installing buck and rail fencing at the mouth of (2) canyons\, each of which contain vulnerable natural springs\, to ensure prevention of motorized travel into these areas and resultant impacts on the ecological health of the landscape. \nWork tasks will vary by need\, and are slated to include: \n\ninstallation of buck and rail fencing at mouth of canyons to protect spring sites;\nloading and carrying needed materials and tools to site;\nsign installation\n\nOur Objective: To establish infrastructure designed to prevent illegal motorized travel into the sensitive canyons and near the fragile springs in the Cedar Mountain Wilderness. \n  \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nWednesday\, June 12th: Optional Campout\nThursday\, June 13th: Gather at 8:00am for orientation.\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 \nVolunteers will camp on site. Specific location will be indicated in the Welcome Letter provided to registered volunteers. \nSUWA provides (1) meal 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). 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 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. 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\n \n\n
