"They used their time well and were meticulous in their work. Project sites were cleaned up, making them complement the experiences visitors have come to expect in their National Parks."
—Denny Davies, Cedar Breaks National Monument

Whether you are a public land manager, a city recreation planner, a non-profit director, an educator, or just a concerned member of the community, the Utah Conservation Corps (UCC) represents a way to "get things done" through a national community service program.

The UCC is currently looking for potential projects including, but not limited to, trail building, trail maintenance, constructing and maintaining fence, environmental education, fuels reduction, historical building maintenance, noxious weed removal, habitat restoration, disaster relief, literacy tutoring, educational presentations, water monitoring, and habitat restoration.

When does the UCC operate?

"Very hard working crew. Did great work with minimal supervision and had great attitudes."
—Anthony Botello, Ogden Ranger District/Wasatch Cache National

UCC AmeriCorps members are available to complete projects from April through late October of every year. The majority of conservation projects take place in the summer months. Please call Sean Damitz at (435)797-0964 ext 1 to check the availability of crews.

How much does the UCC charge?

"It would have taken me years to accomplish what they did in a few weeks."
—Allen Malmquist, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

The UCC charges $2,000 per crew of 4 per week (plus costs of transportation to and from non-local projects at $0.40/mile) in exchange for their services. The UCC will guarantee a crew of six crew members for this rate. These figures reflect the necessary funds the UCC needs to generate for the cash match of its AmeriCorps grant.
