Bears Ears Partnership leads on-the-ground site conservation, education, stewardship and research programs to protect and build respect for the greater Bears Ears cultural landscape.
The Land Can't Wait
place-based education
Our Education Program nurtures place-based education and lifelong learning through classroom visits, teacher workshops, field trips, summer camps, dark sky programming and more. The Bears Ears Education Center is the only visitor center in the region, equipping visitors with resources on how to visit the greater Bears Ears region with respect, and hosts free community events to participants of all ages.
site conservation
Our Conservation Programs enrich the living connection to the land while mitigating potential impacts of visitation. Canyon Country Youth Corps crews implement on-the-ground projects to steward the cultural and natural landscape of the greater Bears Ears region, aiming to improve watershed health, mitigate invasive species, build and maintain trails, and restore habitats.
Events
Butler Wash Volunteer Project
Join BEP for a day of volunteering near Butler Wash in the Bears Ears National Monument on Friday, September 6.
The goal is to improve the trail to ensure hikers and other visitors are following dedicated trails. The primary tasks include vegetation clearing, and tree bucking.
Volunteers will receive an orientation on Visit With Respect guidelines, which all volunteers and visitors need to follow to respect cultural and natural sites. A BLM botanist will share information about plant identification, and Volunteer Manager Ricky Begaye will also share about the importance of local pollinators.
Meet up at 9am, and the project will conclude at 2pm. Exact location details will be sent after you register.
