This BLM Utah grant funds a pilot project designed to provide young Americans with valuable public land management experiences. It aims to expand BLM Utah’s long-term capacity for monitoring vital Wilderness resource values across public lands. The Bureau of Land Management Utah is actively seeking a partner organization to furnish qualified teams of diverse college students or recent graduates. These teams will gain hands-on experience by assisting a federal land management agency with its crucial Wilderness monitoring responsibilities. Initial efforts will commence in the BLM’s Cedar City and Salt Lake Field Offices, with future expansion planned for other BLM Utah offices. The project’s objective is for each team to consistently monitor three Wilderness or Wilderness Study Areas per month, following established protocols, contributing significantly to public land stewardship.
