| Lodge - ArrowCorps5, Manti-La Sal |
Posted Aug. 26, 2008 |
 Greetings from Huntington, Utah! I am currently at ArrowCorps5 at the Manti-La Sal National Forest. ArrowCorps5 is this year's National Program of Emphasis where the Order of the Arrow will participate in five conservation projects at five national forests across the country.
Utah has been pretty great so far. The scenery is beautiful and the weather has been perfect. Work on the project began today at Buckhorn Wash, Joe's Valley Reservoir, and Dry Wash. We will be removing tamarisk trees throughout the week. The tamarisk is an invasive species that kills the area around it because it sucks up so much water and turns the soil around it into a salty composition that other vegetation can't survive in. Our work here will push back the invasion of the trees about 30 years.
Later this week, I will be have the opportunity to participate in a day of recreation. I have selected the whitewater rafting trip on the Green River. Other recreation choices include mountain biking, golf, a tour at a local dinosaur museum.
Owaneco Lodge will be participating at ArrowCorps5 at Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming at the end of July. For more information about ArrowCorps5, go to http://event.oa-bsa.org. |
