SUU EDGE Project

The Snow is Beginning to BREAK!

Here at Southern Utah University I have had the great opportunity to be able to serve my community and nation by being involved in the EDGE Project here SUU.  I was able to volunteer time as part of the requirements here at SUU in order to graduate—I did this by helping the Dixie National Forest in the dismantling and rehabilitation of snow mobile trail heads and cross country ski trails.  We set out cleaning and rehabilitating snow mobile trail heads—this was accomplished by hiking trails and clearing brush, tree limbs, picking up trash, and debris.  I was able to learn a lot about the preservation of our beautiful mountains here in Cedar City, Utah.

 

     One experience that was quite memorable was coming down the mountain after rehabbing a trail and looking out over a meadow, completely covered with white and see movement and a subtle break from the tree line and have the chance to set my eyes on a coyote running across the back part of the meadow and then once again disappear back into the trees.  What an amazing experience.
