About the Field Trip Leaders:
Lizbeth Bárcena has been camping, hiking, and exploring the Anza-Borrego Desert for over 17 years. Originally from Guadalajara, she grew up in a quiet San Joaquin Valley town in Alta California, halfway between Yosemite and San Francisco.

Born and raised between Thermal and the San Fernando Valley in California, Stacy Valdez’s journey is characterized by a blend of academic achievements, professional roles, and a profound dedication to social causes. Stacy has built a diverse and impactful career with a strong foundation in education and a commitment to community engagement and service. They have been involved in humanitarian efforts through Border Kindness since 2018, reflecting their passion for the outdoors, advocacy, language, and cultural studies.

Celebremos la Semana Latina de Conservación en Garlough Park | West St. Paul

English event description below.

Únase a Great River Greening en la celebración de la Semana Latina de Conservación en Garlough Park School Forest West St. Paul. En los últimos años, se han llevado a cabo importantes trabajos de restauración del hábitat en Garlough Park con el objetivo de crear bosques nativos y plantaciones de polinizadores para el disfrute del público y los estudiantes de la escuela primaria adyacente. Este evento continuará ese esfuerzo mediante la eliminación de los rebrotes del arbusto invasor y el establecimiento nativo del suelo del bosque mediante la propagación de semillas de pasto. Gracias por marcar la diferencia en conservación mientras disfrutas de un gratificante día en la naturaleza.

Este es un evento familiar. Para voluntarios de todas las edades y orígenes. No es necesario ningún conocimiento o experiencia previa, nosotros le proporcionaremos las herramientas y la formación requerida. Los voluntarios pueden esperar una caminata fácil y plana desde el estacionamiento / instalaciones hasta las áreas de trabajo.

Habrá snacks y agua disponible durante el evento. Por favor, traiga su propia botella de agua reutilizable. Además, traiga sus guantes de trabajo/jardinería si los tiene, si no, no hay problema, se les proporcionarán.

English Version 

Join Great River Greening in celebrating Latino Conservation Week at Garlough Park School Forest West St. Paul. In recent years, significant habitat restoration work has been carried out in Garlough Park with the aim of creating native forests and pollinator plantations for the enjoyment of the public and students at the adjacent primary school. This event will continue that effort by removing regrowth of the invasive buckthorn and establishing the native forest floor by spreading grass seeds. 

This is a family-friendly event. Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to attend. No previous knowledge or experience is necessary, we will provide the tools and training required. Volunteers can expect an easy, flat walk from parking/ facilities to work areas.

Salinas River Day Celebration

Running 175 miles, the Salinas river is an upside-down river. There, present, supporting the whole valley, but hard to see and acknowledge by human eyes. Its existence has been suppressed by design, hidden behind fences, absorbed by sprinkles, and disconnected from its plains. This event celebrates the Salinas River and invites the community to relate with it, immersing themselves in its nature. The goal is to spend the day, from 9 am to 3 pm, in a field trip that includes three different locations along the river where participants will have the opportunity to learn from experts about hydrology, ecology, and alternative forms of river management focused on nature-based solutions and environmental justice. At the end of the field trip we will have a short workshop modeling the river in the sand to understand movements of water and sediments, and share visions and desires for the river. The event is free and transportation, snacks and materials will be provided. Please RSVP here

Location:
We will move along the river and stop in 3 different locations. The initial meeting point would be in front of the ​​National Steinbeck Center

Wilderness Stewardship Weekend

Volunteers will work with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance's Stewardship Team on public lands in the West Desert in Utah!

To support participation, $450 scholarships are awarded to applicants joining as a part of Latino Conservation Week. Additional gas stipends or carpools will be provided. And all tools, gloves and camping equipment are provided as well.

To learn more about our scholarship, visit: suwa.org/scholarship

"SUWA acknowledges the structural barriers many communities face when seeking solace in wild, natural places. Our Stewardship Scholarship program offers scholarships to students who join an immersive stewardship project on public lands in Utah with SUWA. Stewardship Scholars join a two-day project, working with other volunteers and SUWA staff to manage wilderness hands-on."

Volunteers will camp for 2, 3 or 4 nights (depending on preference) learning about land management on some of Utah's most beautiful landscapes. Our crew will travel far and wide across the West Desert assessing and remediating vehicle and camping compliance. We will work to protect native vegetation, animal habitat and the ecological integrity of vast landscapes. Tasks will vary by need and may include: sign installation, raking and picking, and team-carrying boulders and trees. There are jobs for all people of all abilities!

¡Fin de semana como Voluntario de Campo!

¿Te encanta pasar tiempo al aire libre y ayudar a cuidar nuestras tierras públicas? ¡Entonces únete al equipo de Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) para un fin de semana especial de trabajo como voluntario de campo en el Desierto Oeste de Utah!

Apoyo para participar:

  • Para celebrar la Semana de la Conservación Latina, ¡ofrecemos becas de $450 a los participantes que se unan durante esa semana!

  • También podemos ayudarte con el costo de la gasolina (¡o te podemos conectar con otros voluntarios para compartir coche!).

  • Te proporcionaremos todas las herramientas, guantes y equipo de campamento que necesites.

Para más información sobre nuestras becas, visita: suwa.org/scholarship

¿De qué se trata?

SUWA reconoce las barreras que enfrentan muchas comunidades para disfrutar de los espacios naturales. Por eso, nuestro programa de Becas de Voluntario de Campo ofrece apoyo a estudiantes para que participen en un proyecto intensivo en tierras públicas de Utah.

Los becarios trabajarán junto a otros voluntarios y personal de SUWA durante dos días para aprender y contribuir activamente al cuidado de la naturaleza.

¡Aventura en el Desierto!

Pasarás de campamento de 2 a 4 noches (tú eliges) aprendiendo sobre el manejo de tierras en algunos de los paisajes más hermosos de Utah. Trabajaremos en diferentes zonas del Desierto Oeste para revisar y mejorar el uso responsable de vehículos y campamentos. Nuestro objetivo es proteger la vegetación nativa, el hábitat de los animales y la integridad ecológica de estos vastos paisajes.

Las tareas variarán según las necesidades del momento y pueden incluir: instalar carteles, rastrillar y recoger basura, o trabajar en equipo para transportar rocas y árboles. ¡Hay trabajo para todas las personas y habilidades!
