SUMMARY:Bears Ears Service Weekend [Wilderness]
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 fourth consecutive year working with the Manti-La Sal Forest Service on a series of natural resource protection projects. This year’s multi-day\, multi-weekend 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 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\nInstalling signage\nBuilding log & block infrastructure\n\nOur Objective: To protect cultural and natural resources from the impacts of uninformed or willfully negligent travel and camping. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nThursday\, July 16th: Optional early arrival/camping.\nFriday\, July 17th: Day 1.\nSaturday\, July 18th: Day 2.\nSunday\, July 19th: Day 3.\nMonday\, July 20th: 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\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.\, \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 \n

SUMMARY:Fivemile Pass Stewardship Project - Latino Conservation Week Event!
DESCRIPTION:APPLY NOW \nMeetup & Clean-up at Fivemile Pass! \nHappy Latino Conservation Week! You are invited to celebrate Latinidad en Conservación Tuesday July 21 to clean up a shooting area. Public lands an hour from Salt Lake City (and closer to folks living around the southern point of the Oquirrh Mountains) are littered with trash: shotgun shells\, target shrapnel\, and left-behind cans and bottles densely scatter a landscape with much target shooting and nearby raptor habitat. Please meet us for a spatially-distanced clean-up\, great music\, and the great feeling of leaving a place better than you found it! \nWhere: Shooting area just outside of “Fivemile Pass Recreation Area.” Plug these GPS coordinates into Google Maps for the exact location (40.2082337\, -112.2675537)\n \nHow to get there:\n \nFrom Salt Lake or Utah County\, head to Fivemile Pass Recreation Area. Make a pit stop at the Recreation Area if needed as toilets are not available at the clean-up site. Drive past the Recreation Area\, and turn left onto the Pony Express Road. The Road is a well graded dirt road suitable for any vehicle. Drive down the road about 5 miles until you see a sign that says “Leaving Shooting Restriction Area\,” then turn left onto the dirt parking lot at that sign. \nFrom Tooele County\, drive past Stockton and take a left at the Pony Express Trail historic marker onto highway 73. When the highway bends at the point of the Oquirrhs\, turn right onto the Pony Express Rd. Drive down the road about 5 miles until you see a sign that says “Leaving Shooting Restriction Area\,” and turn left into the dirt parking lot at that sign. \nWhat To Wear & Bring: Close-toed shoes are required. Weather will be sunny with no shade. Bring a large water bottle\, a wide brimmed hat\, and a long sleeve shirt to protect you from the sun and dust. \nSUWA will provide: gloves\, disposal masks\, a hand washing station\, hand sanitizer\, and water. \nA Volunteer Agreement is required for this project. [Paper copies will be available the morning of the project.]\n \nAPPLY NOW
