Friends of the Canyons Volunteer Guide

The Bear River Watershed Council recently published a observation and response field guide for our volunteers.  We have created this easy reference field guide to help volunteers determine the correct action needed for issues encountered in the Logan Ranger District National Forest.

For the past five years, the Bear River Watershed Council has worked with a coalition of diverse user groups, including the Wasatch Outlaw Wheelers and the Utah 4-Wheel Drive Association, to restore impacts from irresponsible motorized users.  The restoration efforts are making a difference.  However, without a continued presence of volunteers willing to report suspicious activity, issues, and vandalism, this effort could fail.

To get a hard copy of the field guide contact Meg Hawks, meghawks@gmail.com, or any of the contact persons for individual Friends of the Canyon groups.

Announcing Friends of the Canyon

Friends of the Canyon is a new program launched by the Bear River Watershed Council, www.brwcouncil.org.  It is comprised of citizens concerned about the welfare of our local canyons.  All members of the community are invited to make a difference by simply keeping their eyes and ears open to questionable activities that could impact wildlife habitat, public lands, and our community's open space.  Each canyon has a designated contact person that will help coordinate communication and disperse information between the Logan Ranger District, volunteers and others.
