SUMMARY:Hackberry Canyon Stewardship Project
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nThe 1.7 million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is an extraordinary landscape. The monument is world renowned for its remarkable paleontological discoveries\, stunning scenery\, and outstanding recreational opportunities. Local communities have benefited with significant increases in tourism\, new businesses\, population growth\, and higher per capita income. \nSince its designation in 1996\, Grand Staircase-Escalante has come to be known as the “Science Monument”—yielding several new species of dinosaur and other paleontological finds and providing habitat for 650 bee species\, many that are endemic to the area. The area has incredible camping\, hiking and other recreational opportunities. Places like Calf Creek\, Peekaboo and Spooky Canyon\, Coyote Gulch\, and the Hole in the Rock Road are well-known. \n\nThe Work \nOur work will focus on earthen building in the backcountry. We will restore the earthen roof and earthen chinking on the historic Watson Cabin. This will involve extensive “dirt work” – digging\, loading\, lifting\, dumping\, repeating. Due to the hiking distance and the nature of the heavy labor\, this is considered a Level 3 project. See below. \nOur Objective: To restore aspects of an historic cabin while building new relationships with monument staff. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nThursday\, Apr 15th: Day 1\nFriday\, Apr 16th : Day 2\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 \nVolunteers will camp on site at a location TBD. There are no amenities in the area. \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:Behind the Rocks Stewardship Project
DESCRIPTION:The Work \nWe will work to address the impacts of noncompliant ORV travel and illegal camping in the area. Our tasks will focus on campsite remediation\, including: firering removal\, naturalization of illegal vehicle tracks in protected areas\, vertical mulching and other techniques to direct travel flows\, and installation of educational signage to inform future visitors. \nOur Objective: To better manage camping and travel impacts in the Behind the Rocks WSA. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nMonday\, Apr 19th: Day 1\nTuesday\, Apr 20th : Day 2\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 a location TBD. There are no amenities in the area. \nDue to the COVID-19 Pandemic\, SUWA is temporarily suspending its provision of food.
