This grant, co-sponsored by the Edge of the Cedars State Park and Museum (EOC) and the Utah BLM Monticello Field Office, aims to continue and enhance the Utah Site Steward Program (USSP). The USSP monitors and protects cultural resource sites, trains volunteers, and conducts public outreach. With 30 active volunteers, the program is vital for preserving numerous cultural sites on public land, fulfilling requirements of cultural resource laws. This grant is for sustaining the successful partnership, ensuring ongoing site stewardship and protection. Additionally, funds are sought to digitize Southeastern Utah’s world-class rock art data, currently stored at EOC. This involves creating a searchable database with maps, records, and photographs, making these invaluable resources easily accessible for researchers. Annual reports on both the stewardship program and digitization progress will be submitted to the BLM.
