SUMMARY:Canyon Country WSAs 1 - FULL
DESCRIPTION:The Land \nA multitude of wilderness study areas constitute Moab’s periurban wilderness – magnificent in their scope despite an onslaught of pressures from the nearby community’s thriving recreation industry. Vast proposed wildernesses features are cut by canyons drawn by perennial streams and ephemeral washes\, lush with riparian vegetation. Pinyon-juniper forest fills out the higher elevations\, above an expanse of Navajo sandstone domes\, fins and arches. \nOff-road vehicle use\, mountain biking\, and popular hiking routes flank the wilderness study area\, putting pressure on boundaries and jeopardizing the integrity of the resource. We work with the local Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to manage for these recreation impacts where they impede upon wilderness-quality lands.  \n\nThe Work \nThis project will including fence building and off-road vehicle travel and compliance\, remediating where appropriate. Illegal travel and impacts in and adjacent to WSAs will be remediated with a variety of techniques\, including: \n\nRaking\, vertical mulching\, and other surface naturalization strategies;\nPlacing heavy stone and downed logs to naturalize the impacted travel area;\nInstallation of education signage to prevent future incursions.\nBuilding fences to clarify WSA boundary\n\nVolunteers Needed: (8)\nProject Lead: Talitha McGuire & Ellie Swanson\nContact: talitha@suwa.org \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nSat Mar 16 – Sun Mar 17\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 \nSpecific location of camping site(s) will be provided in the Welcome Letter sent to registered volunteers. \nSUWA provides select meals\, snacks and drinks during the project. Volunteers are responsible for all additional meals not specified in the Welcome Letter 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  (4) weeks prior to the start date. \n\nRegistration & Acceptance Timeline \nA 2024 General Volunteer Application is required for this project. \n \n\nWhen we have received your form\, you will receive a confirmation e-mail within (5) working days of submission.\nIn order to ensure participation by the most diverse applicants\, we log all applications until (8) weeks prior to the project. At this point\, you will first receive a call from our stewardship team to further discuss the project.\nFollowing this call\, you will receive an e-mail confirming whether you have been placed on the “project roster” or a “waiting list.”\nIf you are selected for the project roster\, you will then complete a Volunteer Agreement.\nIndividuals on the Waitlist List will be contacted if space opens due to cancellation within (2) weeks of the project start date.\nAt (4) 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 (when applicable)\, a notification about carpools and/or caravans\, and any additional information pertinent to the project.\nWithin (2) weeks of the project you will receive a direct call from our stewardship coordinator to answer any additional questions you may have.\n\nIf you have any questions at any point throughout the process\, please do not hesitate to contact us here or by calling  (435) 259-9151. \nAPPLY NOW \n

SUMMARY:Grand Staircase-Escalante: Circle Cliffs 1 - FULL
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 travel management and camping compliance. We will address any signs of camping impacts to natural resources. Tasks may include: track raking\, rock and natural materials conveyance\, vertical mulching\, sifting and cleaning nonpermitted campsites sign installation\, and additional restoration strategies. All tools will be provided\, including gloves. \nVolunteers Needed: (8)\nProject Lead: Talitha McGuire & Ellie Swanson\nContact: ellie@suwa.org \n  \n\nItinerary\nA comprehensive itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers. \n\nFri Mar 22 – Mon Mar 25\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 \nSpecific location of camping site(s) will be provided in the Welcome Letter sent to registered volunteers. \nSUWA provides select meals\, snacks and drinks during the project.
