During several weeks in March, 54 volunteers spent their spring break helping Plateau Restoration Incorporated restore damaged areas in Sevenmile Canyon and in Upper Courthouse Wash. This spring marks the beginning of Plateau Restorations third year, and its first annual membership drive. Students from Montana State University, University of Montana, and Utah Valley State College spent a total of 760 hours working in the mouth of Sevenmile Canyon near the junction of State Highways 313 and 191. Plateau Restoration staff worked with a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wildlife biologist and archaeologist to plan the work in the canyon. The students built a range fence along the affected area of the canyon to discourage travel on grasses and forbes In addition, the students moved over 500 rice grass, newly-plante- d galletta grass, blue grama, dropseed, snakeweed and sage from adjacent slopes into the damaged site. The transplanted grasses will help stabilize eroding slopes in the canyon. Preliminary monitoring suggests the transplanting was largely successful. The work donated by the stu- - Utah Valley State College student carefully transplants denuded slope in Sevenmile Canyon. A dent groups is the first phase of the restoration project in Sevenmile. Plateau Restoration will continue to monitor the project for the next five years, both to provide follow-umaintenance and evaluate the success of the project. This spring Plateau Restoration will finish off the first phase of the project during Jeep Safari week. In the fall a volunteer group will help gather seeds and scatter them in the work area to increase native seed stock in the soil of the disturbed area. In Upper Courthouse Wash rice grass on a a group of 12 Americorps volunteers from the Sheridan Family Center in Denver spent a total of 50 hours a deadend near Courthouse Rock. Unfortunately the weather prevented the group from fully completing the first phase of this trail-turned-gul- ly p project, but future volunteer groups will help Plateau Restoration continue work at this site.
