SUMMARY:Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument - Big Spencer Flat
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nThe 1.7 million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is an extraordinary landscape. Over the last 20 years\, Grand Staircase-Escalante has claimed its place as a crown jewel equal to Utah’s national parks. 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. And polls consistently demonstrate strong support for the monument. \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 known the world over. \n\nThe Work \nOur emphasis is Big Spencer Flat. Our work will focus on managing for travel impacts and camping compliance. We will remediate the impacts of non permitted off-route travel. We may install rock cairn baskets and other signage to demarcate wilderness study area boundaries. Tasks will include: track raking\, rock and natural materials gathering\, vertical mulching\, sifting and cleaning nonpermitted travel and campsites. All tools will be provided\, including gloves. \n\nOur Objective: To remediate the impacts of off-trail travel and dispersed camping at locations within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in order to protect natural resources and preserve protected area boundaries. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nMonday\, March 14th – Day 1\nTuesday\, March 15th – Day 2\nWednesday\, March 16th – Day 3\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 (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. 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:Canyon Rims Stewardship Project - University of Utah Alternative Break Students Only
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nA vast wilderness east and south of Canyonlands National Park is contained within the Canyon Rims Recreation Area\, which as its name suggests features many canyons\, cliffs\, mesas and eroded red rock formations\, though also a lot of flat\, rather featureless grassy plains. Most lies to the east\, starting a little south of Moab\, and extends from the Colorado River opposite Dead Horse Point across to US 191\, and down to the border with the Manti La Sal National Forest at the foothills of the Abajo Mountains. This section has three long canyons – Kane Springs\, Harts Draw\, and Indian Creek\, along which runs road UT 211 past Newspaper Rock State Park into the Needles District of Canyonlands NP – and also a great escarpment formed by high red Wingate sandstone cliffs that mark the boundary between the Colorado River valley and the plateau beyond (Hatch Point and Harts Point). \nThe southern part stretches from the edge of the Needles District southwest towards White Canyon near Lake Powell\, and contains several deep\, branched tributaries of the Colorado River\, principally Bodie Canyon\, Gypsum Canyon and parts of Dark Canyon.  [source] \n\nThe Work \nOur crew will build an extensive fence to better manage travel and camping impacts. Manual and power tools will be used. Fire rings will be cleaned or dismantled.  \nOur Objective: To ensure compliance with existing travel management rules and regulations in service of localized wilderness-quality lands preservation. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nSaturday\, March 19th: Project Orientation and Completion\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\nVolunteer Responsibilities \nParticipants are responsible for their own food\, water and camping gear as well as transportation to and from the project site(s).
