SUMMARY:North Stansbury Mountains WSA Service Project
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nThe North Stansbury wilderness study area (WSA) encompasses 10\,480 acres and resides 40 miles west of Salt Lake City. The broader Stansbury Mountain range is typical of the Basin and Range Province\, rising above the desert between two valley floors. Elevations within the WSA range from 5\,200 feet along the base of the range up to 8\,800 feet on the southern end near the Forest Service boundary. \nThe range trends north-south\, reaching from the southwest of the Great Salt Lake at Stansbury Bay into the region of the southeast Great Salt Lake Desert. The Stansbury Mountains are mostly a massif\, with a continuous ridgeline from north to south\, and they are connected at their south with the similarly aligned Onaqui Mountains. Its southwest perimeter is adjacent to Dugway (and the Dugway Proving Ground)\, and along its western base lies Skull Valley. The south of the range contains the Deseret Peak Wilderness\, with much of the range as part of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The highpoint of the range is Deseret Peak at 11\,035 feet (3\,363 m). [source] \n\nThe Work \nJoin our small crew as we head into the North Stansbury Mountains WSA to monitor and restore boundary integrity. Working east to west\, we will restore WSA signage\, remediate the impacts of non-permitted travel and camping\, and monitor for sites of incursion into these protected lands. \nWork tasks will vary by need\, and are slated to include: \n\nmonitoring hikes of wilderness boundary;\ninstallation of WSA boundary signs;\nremediation of travel and camping impacts (campsite clean-up\, raking\, vertical mulching\, etc).\n\nOur Objective: To survey and bolster WSA boundary integrity to ensure protection of natural resources contained within the North Stansbury Mountains. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nThursday\, June 11th: Project Day + Dinner [BYO]\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 \nCamping is optional. \nDue to the COVID-19 Pandemic\, SUWA is temporarily suspending its provision of food. Volunteers are responsible for all food and water 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

SUMMARY:Cedar Mountain Wilderness Monitoring Excursion
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. The 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 block rail access to a proposed high-level nuclear waste storage facility on the nearby Skull Valley Indian Reservation. The project was defeated in 2012 amid legal obstacles and substantial local opposition. Since its designation\, the Cedar Mountain Wilderness continues to face impacts from off-raid vehicle travel – especially during fall hunting season – due to the profligate presence of roads effectively intersecting and dividing the wilderness parcels. \n\nThe Work \nOver the past few years our Stewardship Program has worked with the BLM to ensure boundary and interior protections for wilderness in the Cedar Mountains. On this year’s monitoring excursion\, we will travel across the range to monitor the status of our efforts\, while simultaneously performing micro-restoration tasks to upkeep boundary integrity. This project is designed for SUWA’s trained Wilderness Stewards.  \nWork tasks will vary by need\, and are slated to include: \n\nExtensive driving travel along the boundary and at targeted sites within the Cedar Mountain Wilderness\nLogging and recording data to report on the status of wilderness boundary integrity\nOccasional micro-restoration strategies (campsite clean-up; raking; vertical mulching; sign refreshing)\n\nOur Objective: To monitor existing infrastructure designed to prevent illegal motorized travel into the Cedar Mountain Wilderness. To monitor the present condition of the wilderness. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nFriday\, June 12th: Project Day + Optional Campout\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. \nDue to the COVID-19 Pandemic\, SUWA is temporarily suspending its provision of food. Volunteers are responsible for all food and water 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).

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\, which may include but are not limited to: reclaiming non-permitted routes and “hill climbs\,” repairing or establishing temporary\, artificial barriers where vegetation has been removed or decimated\, and removing debris and 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 surfaces\n\nOur Objective: To remediate the impacts of dispersed camping and non-permitted off-road vehicle travel in the many canyons of 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\nThursday\, June 18th: Early Arrival [Evening]\nFriday\, June 19th: Southern Deep Creek Range\nSaturday\, June 20th: Northern Deep Creek Range\nSunday\, June 21st: Optional Day 3 [based on needs assessed]\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.
