SUMMARY:Deep Creek Mountains Service Project
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nThe Deep Creek Mountains\, officially the Deep Creek Range (Goshute: Pi’a-roi-ya-bi)[1]\, are a mountain range in the Great Basin located in extreme western Tooele County and Juab County\, Utah\, in the western United States. 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. The valley to the east is Snake Valley and to the west is Deep Creek Valley. Sites of cultural significance are found throughout the lush riparian corridors. \n \nThe Work \nOur crew will work to rehabilitate and restore wilderness characteristics through a series of approaches\, including: reclaiming non-permitted routes and “hill climbs\,” establishing temporary\, artificial barriers where vegetation has been removed or decimated\, and restoring the natural quality of impacted areas.  8-12 spaces available. \nWork tasks will vary by need\, and are slated to include: \n\nfence 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 and prevent non-permitted off-road vehicle travel in Tom’s Canyon in the Deep Creek Mountains. To educate on the location and travel restrictions of protected areas. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nFriday\, September 6th: Early Arrival at CCC Campground\nSaturday\, September 7th: Day 1. Orientation. Travel to site.\nSunday\, September 8th: Breakfast. Workday begins.\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) dinner\, (1) breakfast\, and snacks during the project.

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: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. Orientation\, Workday and Group Dinner [provided]\nFriday\, Oct 18th: 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).
