The Landscape

Stansbury Island is a large island located in the Great Salt Lake west of Salt Lake City. It is part of Utah’s magnificent northern landscape, but over recent years it has experienced more than its fair share of trash dumping.

Let’s celebrate National Public Lands Day by helping out this special place with a morning of trash clean-up!

The Work

Expect to engage in beautification of Stansbury Island through trash removal and community celebration!

All work tools will be provided, including gloves, eye protection, and ear-protection.

Project Rating

Easy – Expect walking on uneven terrain, but in close proximity to roads and our work vehicles. Project work may include installing signs, and some light tool use. 

All 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.
