Hi everyone,
Please forgive me for making my first post a blatant advertisement for another organization, but I figure you wont mind as it is for a good cause.
For those of you who are not familiar with the
United Wildlife Cooperative, we are a group of concerned sportsman that are trying to give back and preserve our natural resources for future generations to enjoy. There are many things that we have accomplished in the very short time since we were organized, including several service projects across Utah, supported other worthy causes such as the Chairbound Hunters of Utah, Utah Houndsmen Banquet, youth turkey hunts, and more.
If you are interested in learning more about our organization, I will provide a link at the foot of this thread. But the main purpose of this thread is to get the word out and let everyone know what our plans are and what we need help with.
Who: Anyone and Everyone is invited (including kids)
When: August 6th
Where: Sage Hen Hollow (Panguitch Lake area)
What: Lop and Scatter Pinyon / Junipers
Why: Improving wintering habitat for mule deer by cutting down pinyon pine trees and junipers that are preventing grass and other food sources for mule deer from growing in these areas.
The
United Wildlife Cooperative will be holding a lop and scatter service project down by Panguitch Lake on August 6th. This project is
Dedicated Hunter hour eligible, and a great opportunity to spend some time with some great sportsmen that want to improve habitat and wintering grounds for the mule deer population in the region.
We would like to invite anyone who is interested in helping out and are asking for anyone that has access to a
chainsaw,
lopers, or
other tools that might be useful in this project to lend a hand and a tool or two to the cause.
As we are able to get more specifics from the DWR / BLM on the specific location and any other pertinent information, we will update you as quickly as possible.
I am posting this information on multiple outdoor forums, so I may not respond as quickly as I would like. So I would suggest initially looking for more information on the following thread, but I will try and keep this thread as updated as possible as well.
