Aided in collection signatures, comment cards and raising public awareness about the Pebble Mine proposal for Trout Unlimited Alaska/ Save Bristol Bay.org . While volunteering I attended the Utah American Fisheries Society Conference, Wasatch Fly Tying Expo, Backcountry Hunters and Anglers Rendezvous 2019 and various other events collecting signatures and comment cards.

November 10 2018 the Logan Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest invited the community to join them for the Seeding and Shrub Planting project days to improve mule deer winter habitat in Green Canyon. I led the Utah State University chapter of Backcountry Hunters in Anglers To participate in giving back to the local community and improve the wildlife habitat! Volunteers helped by spreading sage, bitterbrush, chokecherry, serviceberry and snowberry seeds and planting mountain big sagebrush, mahogany, snowberry and bitterbrush seedlings. Thank you to the members of the USU BHA club that were able to attend this morning and all of the other volunteers. Projects like these are how we can help preserve our public lands.

Assisted the Cache Anglers Chapter or Trout Unlimited in putting on a kids camp event. Children were able to participate in finding aquatic invertebrate in the river then using tools to identify them. We then assisted the Utah Department of Wildlife Resources in electro fishing to show the children trout and their stomachs contents. The children were able to learn basic stream ecology and understand the importance of cold water habitat for native populations of fish and management of game fish.
