SUMMARY:Book Cliffs Stewardship Project
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nBetween Price\, Utah and Grand Junction\, Colorado\, Highway 6 and Interstate 70 cross 170 miles of barren and windswept terrain. The drive would be lonely but for a constant companion: the thousand-foot-high wall of the Book Cliffs that parallels the highway just to the north. Winding for 250 miles across Utah and Colorado\, it is the longest continuous escarpment in the world. \nNear the town of Green River\, Utah\, a second escarpment\, the Roan Cliffs\, rises above the Book Cliffs\, and together the two climb a vertical mile above the desert. From a distance the double rampart appears to be a smooth\, unbroken wall\, but on closer inspection it resolves into a complicated network of spurs\, ridgelines\, and canyons. \nThe Book Cliffs-Desolation Canyon wilderness is a merging of three different worlds: the great rampart of the Roan and Book cliffs\, the high alpine forests and meadows of the Tavaputs Plateau\, and the inner world of Desolation Canyon. \nIt is all marvelous wilderness. Abundant wildlife and rugged beauty have made the Book Cliffs wilderness one of Utah’s most popular backcountry destinations. Each year the region draws more than 6\,000 hunters\, and an equal number of river runners make the float trip through Desolation Canyon annually. \n\nThe Work \nOur crew will install a gate at the boundary of a wilderness study area to prevent non-permitted travel into protected areas. An existing WSA boundary serves as the intersection between lands managed variously by the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Moab field office\, the State and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) and private landowners.This project has been on the docket for over a year and will serve as the culmination of efforts on behalf of all parties involved.  8-10 spaces are available. \nWork tasks will vary by need\, and are slated to include: \n\ninstall a secure a swinging gate;\nadditional determined vertical mulching and track/tread raking;\nmanual reclamation of visually disturbed surface\n\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\, May 7th: Meet at designated location at 8:00am. Travel to site.\nSunday\, May 8th: Day 2/Afternoon Finish\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 at a location TBD adjacent to the work site. This will be specified in the Welcome Letter sent to registered volunteers. \nSUWA provides a dinner and 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  \n

SUMMARY:BENM Archaeological Survey Week
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. \n\nThe Work \nWe are teaming with Forest Service archaeologists for a weeklong training and survey of cultural resources in Chippean Canyon. We will record Basket Maker III sites and monitor potentially looted sites. This project will incorporate strenuous backcountry travel. Our work will focus on: \n\nSurveying known and unknown resources;\nDocumenting resource relationships to existing travel and camping infrastructure;\nAdditional tasks as assigned and led by archaeologists\n\nOur Objective: To survey cultural resources to inform future decisions regarding travel and camping in the region. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nFriday\, May 20th: Day 1 + Orientation + Hike in\nSaturday\, May 21st: Day 2\nSunday\, May 22nd: Day 3\nMonday\, May 23rd: Day 4\nTuesday\, May 24th: Day 5\nWednesday\, May 25th: Day 6 + Hike out\n\n\nProject Rating  \nLevel 3 – 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 are responsible for all of their meals during the backcountry project. \nBackcountry camping locations will be shared with registered volunteers. \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.
