SUMMARY:Grand Staircase-Escalante: Circle Cliffs Remediation
DESCRIPTION:The Landscape \nSpanning an astonishing 1.7 million acres\, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is one of the most extraordinary landscapes in the American Southwest. This is a place of vast slickrock plateaus\, winding canyons\, towering cliffs\, and night skies so dark they feel prehistoric. Every layer of rock tells a story\, and in many cases\, those stories are still being discovered. \nKnown around the world as the “Science Monument\,” Grand Staircase–Escalante has reshaped our understanding of Earth’s past. Since its designation in 1996\, scientists have uncovered multiple new dinosaur species here\, alongside countless other paleontological treasures. The monument also supports an incredible diversity of life today\, including more than 650 species of native bees—many found nowhere else on the planet. This is a place that expands the soul: it is quiet\, vast\, and full of raw beauty. Due to the incredible sights and proximity to Capitol Reef National Park\, this area has seen a rise in visitation–and with popularity comes impact. Fragile desert soils\, cryptobiotic crusts\, and native vegetation need ongoing care and protection. \n\nThe Work \nVolunteers will play a direct role in protecting one of America’s most scientifically and scenically important public lands. This project works with the Bureau of Land Management to restore impacted areas and support recreation in ways that preserve the Monument’s wild character for generations to come. \nVolunteers will: \n\nClean fire rings\nUse tools such as rakes\, shovels\, and wheelbarrows\nMove natural materials\nInstallation of education signage\n\nAll tools and safety equipment will be provided\, including gloves and eye protection. Volunteers will be trained on remediation techniques and tool use. \n\nProject Rating \nModerate – Expect walking or hiking on uneven terrain; work vehicles will likely be nearby or a short walk away. Project work may include mid- to heavy-lifting\, various tool use such as raking and shoveling\, and potential to carry fencing\, signage or natural materials.  \nAll projects take place outdoors: Please consider your comfortability working in remote landscapes at varying elevations and under variable weather conditions. Our team strives to ensure that all projects provide meaningful work for volunteers of all abilities. Please reach out to the Project Lead if you have questions or concerns. \nVolunteers Needed: (8)\nContact: volunteer@suwa.org \n\nItinerary\nA general itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers in a Welcome Letter. \n\n Monday\, April 6 – Thursday\, April 9\n\n\nCamping & Meals \nSpecific location of camping site(s) will be provided in the Welcome Letter sent to registered volunteers. Campsites are often remote dispersed sites with no running water or pit toilets. \nSUWA provides dinners during the project dates as well as snacks and drinks during workdays. Volunteers are responsible for all additional meals (breakfast\, lunch) 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 packlist will be sent along with the project Welcome Letter (4) weeks prior to the start date. If camping gear is a barrier to your attendance\, please reach out to the Project Lead to discuss options. \n\nRegistration & Acceptance Timeline \nA 2026 General Volunteer Application is required for this project. \n\nOnce we have received your application\, you will receive a confirmation email within (5) working days of submission.\nWe log all applications until (8) weeks prior to the project. At this point\, you will first receive an email confirming whether you have been placed on the“project roster” or a “waitlist.” If you are selected for the project roster\, you will then complete a Volunteer Agreement.\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 the Project Lead to answer any additional questions you may have.\nIndividuals on the waitlist will be contacted if space opens due to cancellation within (2) weeks of the project start date.\n\nIf you have any questions at any point throughout the process\, please do not hesitate to contact us here. \nAPPLY NOW \n

SUMMARY:Goblin City: Recreation Management and Restoration - WAITLIST
DESCRIPTION:*THIS PROJECT REMAINS IN DEVELOPMENT* \nThe Landscape \nNear Vernal\, Utah\, the Green\, White\, and Yampa Rivers carve winding corridors through layered cliffs and colorful badlands\, linking high-elevation forests to arid lowlands. Pinyon-juniper woodlands give way to expansive sagebrush flats\, while rugged ridges rise in bands of red\, gray\, and gold\, telling a geologic story millions of years in the making. This landscape is rich in both natural and cultural history. World-renowned dinosaur fossils lie beneath the surface\, while cultural sites speak to millennia of human presence along these rivers. The region supports a diverse array of wildlife\, including year-round populations of cougar\, elk\, mule deer\, and black bear\, as well as several sensitive species such as peregrine falcons and bald eagles that depend on intact habitat and quiet canyon systems. \nThe same geologic forces that shaped this dramatic terrain have also made the Uinta Basin a center for fossil fuel development. Combined with increasing recreational use—particularly off-route motorized travel—these pressures create an urgent need for thoughtful stewardship to protect wildlife habitat\, cultural resources\, and the wild character of the landscape. In addition\, decades of cattle ranching has impacted watersheds\, leading to the need for habitat restoration. \n\nThe Work \nThis project will focus on remediating trail braiding for a newly designated trail near the White River. Volunteers will be installing cairns\, gabion baskets\, and signage. \nVolunteers will: \n\nUtilize tools such as rakes and shovels\nMove natural materials such as rocks\nInstall educational signage\n\nAll work tools will be provided\, including gloves\, eye protection\, and ear-protection. Volunteers will be trained on tool use. \n\nProject Rating \nModerate – Expect walking or hiking on uneven terrain; work vehicles will likely be nearby or a short walk away. Project work may include mid- to heavy-lifting\, various tool use such as raking and shoveling\, and potential to carry fencing\, signage or natural materials. \nAll projects take place outdoors: Please consider your comfortability working in remote landscapes at varying elevations and under variable weather conditions.

SUMMARY:San Rafael Swell: Wilderness Implementation 1 - WAITLIST
DESCRIPTION:The Landscape \nOn March 12\, 2019\, the Emery County Public Land Management Act was signed into law as the John D. Dingell Jr. Conservation\, Management\, and Recreation Act. As part of that act\, the Emery County Public Land Management Act protected 663\,000 acres of public lands as designated wilderness\, including acreage in Muddy Creek\, Desolation Canyon\, Labyrinth Canyon\, and beyond. \nHowever\, in the years since designation\, on-the-ground management is still needed to implement the designated wilderness. The San Rafael River and its remote\, labyrinthine tributaries cut a gorge through one such Wilderness unit\, but human impacts can threaten cultural and historic sites as well as the unique ecology of the region. \n\nThe Work \nThis project supports the Bureau of Land Management in managing the Wilderness areas in the Swell. Volunteers install a post-and-cable fence\, gabion baskets\, and signage along a Wilderness boundary. This fence will protect the Wilderness and encourage vehicles to remain on designated routes while still allowing for foot\, horse\, and wildlife to pass through. As a volunteer\, you will get to actively participate in habitat protection! \nVolunteers will be: \n\nDigging post-holes in sandy washes and on hillsides\nLifting and moving lumber\nInstalling educational signage\nWorking in teams to assemble fencing\n\nAll work tools will be provided\, including gloves\, eye protection\, and ear-protection. Volunteers will be trained on tool use and fence assembly. \nProject Rating \nModerate – Expect walking or hiking on uneven terrain; work vehicles will likely be nearby or a short walk away. Project work may include mid- to heavy-lifting\, various tool use such as raking and shoveling\, and the potential to carry fencing\, signage or natural materials.   \nAll projects take place outdoors: Please consider your comfortability working in remote landscapes at varying elevations and under variable weather conditions. Our team strives to ensure that all projects provide meaningful work for volunteers of all abilities. Please reach out to the Project Lead if you have questions or concerns. \nVolunteers Needed: (6)\nContact: volunteer@suwa.org \n\nItinerary\nA general itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers in a Welcome Letter. \n\n Monday\, April 20 – Friday\, April 24th\n\n\nCamping & Meals \nSpecific location of camping site(s) will be provided in the Welcome Letter sent to registered volunteers. Campsites are often remote dispersed sites with no running water or pit toilets. \nSUWA provides dinners during the project dates as well as snacks and drinks during workdays. Volunteers are responsible for all additional meals (breakfast\, lunch) 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).

SUMMARY:West Desert: House Range WSAs Protection & Monitoring 1 - WAITLIST
DESCRIPTION:The Landscape \nUtah’s vast West Desert is home to a number of dramatic “island” mountain ranges that rise abruptly from the desert floor: the Deep Creek Mountains\, the House Range\, the Wah Wahs\, and many more. Each range holds its own personality\, from ancient bristlecone pines and limestone cliffs to broad valleys and endless pinyon-juniper forests. This region is one of the most remote corners of the state. Here\, antelope roam the lowlands and historic silver mines are tucked away in mountainous canyons alongside cold creeks. Spanning multiple counties and hundreds of miles of remote dirt roads\, some of this landscape is protected as Wilderness Study Areas\, but managing a place this large and remote is no small task. \nWith networks of old mining roads\, wildlife that attracts hunters\, and solitude abound\, the West Desert makes for a challenging area to guide recreators. Upkeep such as replacing signage\, cleaning up and maintaining dispersed campsites\, and enforcing Wilderness Study Areas needs support from people who care about this place. \n\nThe Work \nThis project is in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management\, and volunteers will be directly involved in protecting the West Desert’s wild character by addressing recreation impacts and helping guide responsible use. This project focuses on restoring damaged areas and maintaining the wild character of the West Desert. \nVolunteers will: \n\nUse tools such as rakes\, shovels\, and wheelbarrows\nMove natural materials\nInstall of educational signage\nClean fire rings\n\nAll work tools will be provided\, including gloves\, eye protection\, and ear-protection. Volunteers will be trained on tool use and remediation techniques. \n\nProject Rating \nModerate – Expect walking or hiking on uneven terrain; work vehicles will likely be nearby or a short walk away. Project work may include mid- to heavy-lifting\, various tool use such as raking and shoveling\, and potential to carry fencing\, signage or natural materials. \nAll projects take place outdoors: Please consider your comfortability working in remote landscapes at varying elevations and under variable weather conditions.
