*THIS PROJECT IS IN DEVELOPMENT*

The Landscape

From the salt flats of Utah’s West Desert to the Deep Creek Mountains and many geologic wonders eastward toward the Salt Lake valley, Northern Utah offers an abundance of wilderness and wilderness-quality lands. Our project – still in the development stage – will take you to places you may never have been, so restore ecological integrity where human impacts have run amok.

The Work

TBD

Project Rating

Moderate – 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.

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.

Volunteers Needed: (8)

Itinerary
A general itinerary will be provided to registered volunteers in a Welcome Letter.

•  Thursday, June 25th – Sunday, June 28th

Camping & Meals

Specific 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.

SUWA 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.

Volunteer Responsibilities

Participants 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.
