Greetings:
We have a lot of volunteer opportunities right now. See below for explanations of activities, contact information and some great events for kids and families to enjoy.
Guzzler installation checks. With the movement of some BLM folks we have some guzzlers that were installed, but we don’t know which 14 of about 25 sites had guzzlers installed and which still need to be installed. We need some volunteers who can take an ATV to GPS locations then determine if a guzzler is installed at that location, or if it still needs to be installed. These sites are near Delta. Contact Travis Proctor to help asap at travis.chukar@gmail.com or 801.360.6553
Outdoor Adventure Days on June 9-10th. http://oad.utah.gov/ We will have booth at this free event for youth and families. We can use help at the booth. This is a great volunteer event where you can bring your dog and talk with other hunters and trainers as you demonstrate to participants the hunting and training process. Puppies are welcome also. Contact Alan Smith to volunteer alan.smith@grousecreek.com and/or bring your family and friends to enjoy the events.
Guzzler installs southeastern region. The DWR is planning a volunteer day on Saturday, June 3rd to build chukar guzzlers near Huntington, Utah. We are currently planning on installing one guzzler that day, but could have crews at four different guzzlers if we have enough volunteer help. We will be meeting at BK’s (Sinclair) in Huntington at 8:00 a.m. that day. Contact Makeda makedatrujillo@utah.gov to help
Guzzler installs central region. We are ready to install two guzzlers in the Central Region. DeWayne will coordinate the installs at a TBD date (during the next month). Contact DeWayne if you are interested in helping erdmande@uvu.edu
Youth Outdoors Fair in Ogden June 17th https://sk.eventbu.com/ogden/2017-youth-outdoors-fair/1483466 We are looking for a volunteer to man a booth for the foundation at this event (9-12:00), or take your family to enjoy the activities. Contact Alan Smith to volunteer alan.smith@grousecreek.com
We are excited about these and other projects this summer. We will be installing more guzzlers later this summer and there will be another youth fair on September 9th at Farmington Bay http://www.utahwaterfowlfair.com/
