A wonderful week of service was completed in Bluff, Utah in late March 2005. Students representing The University of Colorado and Northwestern University camped at the Sand Island Recreation Area for a week to help continue our work on the restoration site that was established 7 years ago. Students cut and removed Tamarisk, Russian Olive and Cheat crass, built a fence around a new native plant growing area, transplanted and reclaimed an illegal roadway. Wonderful conversation, great campfire gatherings and a job well done were the highlights of the week.
thanks to Linda Richmond, Summer Schultz, Brad Colin and Mark Meloy of the BLM for their assistance with this project.

New Internship Program Begins
In June our first internship program began. We had a number of outstanding applicants and our final selections were Heather Hosterman, BA U.C. Santa Cruz, Environmental Studies and Politics, Jim Buthman MA N.A.U. Political Science and Wyley Hodgson, BA U.C. Santa Cruz, Environmental Studies and Philosophy. They have been a real help with river programs, grant research, writing articles, fencing projects and recreation impact monitoring. The interns will be shared with Red Rock Forests a local non-profit advocacy group working on Forest Service issues. The internship was designed to expose the students to two different non-profit experiences.
