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
Volunteer Opportunity: Stream Restoration in Indian Creek

Join Bears Ears Partnership and the Manti-La Sal National Forest Watersheds Team to manage riparian conditions along the upper Indian Creek watershed in a natural state, and where the river has experienced degradation.
You may join for some of the project days, or all of them! Volunteers will meet at Newspaper Rock at 9am each day for a morning briefing and tailgate safety session before hiking up to the project area.
