SUMMARY:Bears Ears National Monument - Wilderness Stewardship Project
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 returning to Elk Ridge for our sixth 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 will focus on 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\nWednesday\, July 20th: Optional early arrival/camping.\nThursday\, July 21st: Day 1/Orientation\nFriday\, July 22nd: Day 2\nSaturday\, July 23rd: Day 3\nSunday\, July 124th: Day 4/Completion\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 the Gooseberry Meadow on Elk Ridge. A nearby cabin provides select amenities. There is a pit toilet on site. \nA dinner will be provided each night\, Thursday through Saturday. Volunteers are responsible for all additional meals during the project. \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:La Sal Mountains Stewardship Project
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nThe Manti-La Sal National Forest covers more than 1.2 million acres (4\,900 km2) and is located in the central and southeastern parts of Utah and the extreme western part of Colorado. The La Sal Mountains are located south/southeast of Moab\, Utah in Grand and San Juan Counties. The name of the range dates to Spanish times\, when the Sierra La Sal (meaning the “Salt Mountains”) were a prominent landmark on the Old Spanish Trail between Santa Fe and Los Angeles. The range is currently in renewed management planning. Recent decades have seen a sharp uptick in recreational use of the La Sal Mountains throughout four seasons. While winter activities remain limited due to high incident of avalanche\, motorized and mechanized travel in the range during all other seasons is rapidly increasing. \n\nThe Work \nWe are returning to the La Sal Mountains to continue our work with the Forest Service managing for the impacts of increased motorized and mechanized travel in the region. Work tasks will vary by need\, and are slated to include: \n\nbuilding log and block instracture to manage travel near open meadows and other areas of sensitive natural resources;\nremediating the impacts of non-permitted travel and camping (signing; raking; vertically mulching).\n\nOur Objective: To ensure travel compliance in the range in order to protect natural and cultural resources. \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nThursday\, July 28th: Day 1 of Project. Gather at 9:o0AM on site for orientation.\nFriday\, July 29th: 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 at a location TBD. \nA dinner on Thursday and snacks throughout the project will be provided. Volunteers are responsible for all additional meals. \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.
