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). 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: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.
