RESTORATION PROJECT
Come make a difference and get fed a Dutch oven dinner prepared by ourdoor chef, Guy Perkins from Camp Chef. On May 31, Bear River Watershed Council in conjunction with the Logan Ranger District, Utah Backcountry Volunteers, Utah 4-Wheel Drive Association,
Wasatch Outlaw Wheelers, Bridgerland Audubon Society,
and Camp Chef will have a one-day restoration event like no other. Volunteers will gather at the mouth of the canyon (map) at 7:30 a.m. and then be transported four miles up Millville Canyon to join together to restore seven miles of unauthorized routes that crisscross the upper canyon (map). If you would like to join in the fun, Contact Dan Miller at: brwc@xmission.com
