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. 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.

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: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.
