We will explore and learn aBout the major ecosystems of Utah, the plant and animal communities that depend upon those systems, and our role in shaping our past, in determining our future, and as stewards of the land. Utah Master Naturalist is a certification program developed By Utah State University Extension with the partnership of more than 25 other organizations in Utah. The mission of Utah Master Naturalist is to develop well-informed volunteers and professionals who provide education, outreach, and service promoting stewardship of natural resources within their communities. Our goal, then, is to assist you in assisting others to develop a greater appreciation and respect for Utah’s Beautiful natural world. “When we see the land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.” - Aldo Leopold Participating in a Utah Master Naturalist course provides each of us opportunities to learn not only from the instructors and guest speaKers, But also from each other. We each arrive at a Utah Master Naturalist course with our own rich collection of knowledge and experiences, and we have a unique opportunity to share that Knowledge with each other. This helps us learn and grow not just as individuals, but together as a group with the understanding that there is always more to learn, and more to share.

  • Utah Lake Watch Report 2008
    Utah Lake Watch Report 2008 Utah State University Water Quality Extension Prepared by: Eric Peterson Introduction Utah Lake Watch (ULW) is a statewide monitoring program which enlists the help of volun teers to ga in ins ig ht on the h ealth of Ut ah’ s l ak es and reservoi rs. Th ese d at a help the Utah Division of Water Quality in their lake protection programs, and provide lake managers with a better picture of the health of their lake. Major objectives of the program include: • acquiring baseline data for Utah’s lakes and reservoirs; • providing education to the citizens of the state on the importance of healthy lakes, how lakes function, and how we monitor lakes; and • demonstrating the effectiveness of citizen monitoring in collecting water quality data which can be used to better manage and protect our lakes and reservoirs. To meet these objectives, Utah Lake Watch participants are trained to measure the transparency of a particular lake or reservoir on a regular basis from May until September. The participants record these readings and weather observations on a data sheet, and return the data to USU Water Quality Extension at the end of the season. USU Water Quality Extension compiles the raw data and delivers it electronically to the Utah Division of Water Quality. In addition, they summarize the results for each lake and return these summaries to the citizen volunteers. All of these results and interpretations are contained in this annual report. Participants measure transparency using a Secchi disk. The measurement itself is very easy; the Secchi disk, which is a white and black weighted disk attached to a line, is lowered into the water until it is no longer visible.

  • Monument Valley Meander
    RV Traveler's Roadmap to Monument Valley Meander However you experience it, the valley is a wonder to behold, a harsh yet hauntingly beautiful landscape. View it in early morning, when shadows lift from rocky marvels. Admire it in springtime,when tiny pink and blue wildflowers sprinkle the land with jewel-like specks of color. Try to see it through the eyes of the Navajos, who still herd their sheep and weave their rugs here. 1 Highlights & Facts For The Ideal Experience Agathla Peak Trip Length: Roughly 260 miles, plus side trips Best Time To Go: Spring - autumn What To Watch Out For: When on Indian reservations abide by local customs. Ask permission before taking photos, never disturb any of the artifacts. Must See Nearby Attractions: Grand Canyon National Park (near Flagstaff, AZ) Petrified Forest National Park (near Holbrook, AZ) Zion National Park (Springdale, UT) 2 Traveler's Notes Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park The stretch of Rte. 163 called the Trail of the Ancients in honor of the vanished Anasazis cuts across Monument Valley at the Utah border on its way to the little town of Mexican Hat. Named for a rock formation there that resembles an upside-down sombrero a whimsical footnote to the magnificence of Monument Valley—Mexican Hat is the nearest settlement to Goosenecks State Park, just ahead and to the west via Rtes. 261 and 316. The monuments in the park have descriptive names. They are based on ones imagination. These names were created by the early settlers of Monument Valley. Others names portray a certain meaning to the Navajo people.
