Alta Wildflower Festival and Naturalist Talk

Lower Albion Meadows Interpretive Trail Alta, UT, United States

  Join us on July 27 in Little Cottonwood Canyon to enjoy time with like-minded earth stewards in the beauty of our natural world. We’ll meet at the Alta Ski Resort Albion Base parking lot at 5:30 and walk the Lower Albion Meadows Trail with a trained naturalist sharing insights about the canyon’s flowers, plants, and geology.     Following the nature trail walk, we’ll migrate to the Tanner Flats Campground to meet at 7:00 PM for a bonfire, bring-your-own-dinner (you are welcome to cook on the open fire), Smores and watermelon provided LDSES, and conversation with peers and our trail naturalist. This will be a fun and informative event for people of all ages so we encourage families to attend.  You are welcome to join us for the naturalist walk, the dinner and bonfire, or both.  Please register here if you plan to join us.

National Public Lands Day Naturalist Talk and Canyon Cleanup

Silver Lake in Big Cottonwood Canyon

  Our National Public Lands Day project is at Silver Lake in Big Cottonwood Canyon.  We will be preparing soil, laying veg matting, and planting native plant seed! You can park in the Brighton Store parking lot across the street from the Visitor Center, or in the Visitor Center lot.  We will meet with the Cottonwood Canyons Foundation project leaders in the picnic area of the Visitor Center at 8:30 am (there is construction in the canyon so plan for delays).  We will provide breakfast!  Upon arrival, we will complete waivers, give a safety talk, and break into working groups. Families are welcome, but children must be supervised by an adult.  Long pants, long sleeves, closed-toed sturdy shoes, and layers are required (in case of inclement weather).  Please bring water and sun protection (screen, glasses, hat).  Bring work gloves, if you have them. Please bring a shovel or grass rake if you have one. We will provide additional gloves and tools. Please register here so that we can arrange for your food and equipment. Contact us at slc@ldsearthstewardship.org if you have questions. For details and updates, you can see our Facebook Events page or website calendar.
