SUMMARY:Archeological Survey Service Week [Bears Ears NM]
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. \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 \nJoin us for the week as we work with a team of Forest Service archeologists to survey an undocumented cultural site. This four-day program will include an introductory cultural resource survey training followed by a multi-day effort to document an existing site near the eponymous Bears Ears buttes. \n  \n  \nOur Objective: To survey and document a known cultural site with the long-term goal of better protecting regional cultural resources. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nMonday\, May 25th: [Optional] Early Arrival + Camping\nTuesday\, May 26th: Arrival + Orientation\nWednesday\, May 27th: Main Project Day 1\nThursday\, May 28th: Main Project Day 2\nFriday\, May 29th: Project Wrap-up + Departure\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 at the Kigalia Guard Station. All water will be carried in. 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\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:Behind the Rocks WSA Service Project
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nThe Behind the Rocks wilderness study area rests adjacent – and out of earshot – to the bustling community of Moab. Massive Navajo sandstone domes and fins\, steep cliffs\, and arches define a labyrinthine landscape featuring extreme topographical constraints. Sparse juniper and desert shrubs pock the area. Recreational use within the WSA is limited to hiking. However\, the boundaries of the WSA experience heavy motorized travel\, leading to frequent and impactful incursions into this protected landscape. \n\nThe Work \nOur crew will work to rehabilitate and restore wilderness characteristics through a series of approaches\, which may include but are not limited to: reclaiming impacts of non-permitted motorized travel\, repairing or establishing temporary\, artificial barriers where vegetation or cultural resources have been damaged\, and removing debris or other trash.  6-8 spaces available. \nWork tasks will vary by need\, and are slated to include: \n\nboundary delineation and WSA boundary sign installation\nvertical mulching and track + tread raking\nother manual reclamation (with hand tools) of visually disturbed surface\n\nOur Objective: To remediate the impacts of non-permitted off-road vehicle travel in the Behind the Rocks wilderness study area. To educate on the location and travel restrictions of protected areas. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nSaturday\, May 2nd: Day 1. Orientation\, Workday and Group Dinner [provided]\nSunday\, May 3rd: Day 2. Breakfast [provided]. Workday & End of 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 and hiking competency. \n\nCamping & Meals \nVolunteers will camp on site.

SUMMARY:Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Service Project II - POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nThe 1.7 million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is an extraordinary landscape. Over the last 20 years\, Grand Staircase-Escalante has claimed its place as a crown jewel equal to Utah’s national parks. 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. And polls consistently demonstrate strong support for the monument. \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 known the world over. \nThe Work \nOur emphasis is the Boulder Mail Trail and Spencer Flat. Our work will focus on managing for travel impacts and camping compliance. We will construct (and deconstruct where appropriate) route cairns as markers for travel. These cairns are established to protect natural areas from off trail travel impacts. We will also remediate the impacts of dispersed camping along Spencer Flat Road. 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 the impacts of off-trail travel and dispersed camping at locations within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in order to protect natural resources and preserve protected area boundaries. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nSaturday\, March 28th: Day 1. Orientation\, Workday and Group Dinner [provided]\nSunday\, March 29th: Day 2. Breakfast [provided]. Workday & End of 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 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) group meal per day (plus 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.

SUMMARY:Ten Mile Canyon Service Project - POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nCulminating in Labyrinth Canyon\, Ten Mile Canyon is the point of connection between the webbing of slickrock drainages feeding into the Green River. Containing innumerable cultural and natural resources – from bighorn sheep breeding grounds to ancient middens littered with desiccated corn cobs and pottery shards – Ten Mile Canyon is also selectively open to motorized travel\, leading to regular\, frequent\, and increasing impacts to these resources. Lush riparian areas\, sheltered alcoves\, and the area’s equivalent of slot canyons are all in need of more hands and more targeted management to prevent the further degradation. \n\nThe Work \nOur crew will work to rehabilitate and restore wilderness characteristics through a series of approaches\, which may include but are not limited to: reclaiming impacts of non-permitted motorized travel\, repairing or establishing temporary\, artificial barriers where vegetation or cultural resources have been damaged\, and removing debris or other trash.  8-12 spaces available. \nWork tasks will vary by need\, and are slated to include: \n\nfence repair and WSA boundary sign installation\nvertical mulching and track + tread raking\nmanual reclamation (with hand tools) of visually disturbed surface\n\nOur Objective: To remediate the impacts of non-permitted off-road vehicle travel in Ten Mile Canyon and nearby drainages. To educate on the location and travel restrictions of protected areas. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nSaturday\, March 14th: Day 1. Orientation\, Workday and Group Dinner [provided]\nSunday\, March 15th: Day 2. Breakfast [provided].

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: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.
