"Keeping Money Where It's Raised"

Blue Mountain Guzzler!  Blue Mountain, Utah in Uintah County, near the CO/UT state line.  The project objective is to restore an existing water collection feature that will benefit the wildlife and livestock on Blue Mountain.  

Tabby Mountain Habitat Improvements!  Reduce downcutting and incision in the stream.  Hold water in the stream longer into the summer and increase riparian vegetation, including sedges and willows. 

Protect wetlands from damage due to cattle grazing.  Reduce wildfire risk to surrounding areas, including the town of Tabiona, by creating fire breaks and greenstrips. Reduce pinyon and juniper cover and seed within the fuel breaks to benefit elk, mule deer, and sage-grouse. 

Bighorn sheep captures in Book Cliffs & Jack Creek!  Capture and collar bighorn sheep for continual monitoring for disease, movement, and survival data collection.

Stewart Lake WMA habitat improvements!  Removal of Russian olive and tamarisk, and planting of native shrubs, experimental grazing, aerial herbicide treatment, and prescribed fire to improve fish and wildlife habitat on the Stewart Lake WMA

Anthro/Avintaquin Lop and Scatter!  The purpose of this project is to improve wildlife habitat in the Anthro and Avintaquin areas by removing conifer encroachment from 2,361 acres of sagebrush/mountain brush communities and upland meadow communities.

Winter Ridge, Meadow Creek, and Willow Creek in the Book Cliffs of Uintah County, UT.  Habitat improvements in the Willow Creek Watershed including BDA's, riparian plantings, lop and scatter and bullhog work, and arch surveys for future work

The Little Creek Ridge WMA (Bookcliffs Roadless Area) is located about 80 miles south of Vernal, Utah in Grand County, Utah.  Fences in the Little Creek WMA are critical to protecting the 50,000 acre SITLA/UDWR block of land from livestock trespass.  Over time, the fences deteriorate and need maintenance.  The remote location of these fences requires stockpiling materials at each fence location with a helicopter.  These materials can be used over the next 5-10 years as maintenance needs arise.
