Quotes From Our 2007 Alternative Break Season

Here are some quotes from our 2007 Alternative Break season:

Do you believe that the work you have provided has made a difference on the public and private conservation lands of the Canyonlands region?

"I believe that the work I did with the Tamerisk was very impactive for the future of that river and the wildlife around it. What REALLY helped me believe in my impact was the hike to the finished site where Tamerisk had been removed and Willow was growing. It gave me hope that the river I worked on would look as beautiful." - Amber, AB Participant from Sonoma State University

"Yes! Through just a few days of work, I feel like the results are apparent and important. Seeing recreationists on a stump-free beach after we cleared it gave me the feeling our work will be enjoyed" -Alida, AB Participant from Colorado State University

What was your most enjoyable aspect of this volunteer work experience?

"I loved planting native plants and removing invasives. This whole trip was amazing. I have always felt a responsibility to the earth and natural areas, but so often I don't know how to help and now not to harm. Having someone instruct and teach was amazing and I felt good about my contribution." -Rachel, AB Participant from Northwestern University
