Rim To Rim Restoration

Seed Collection and Increase: This years focus was seed collection and preparing areas at Mayberry for increase work. A tractor was purchased this year $18150 of revenue was contributions to the $60,000 tractor and the tractor increased our capacity for seed increase work dramatically. During 2023 our Cooperative Agreement with the BLM was increased substantially to help fund seed collection and increase work in 2023 and beyond. Seed collection in 2023 was intense and we managed over 30 small collections with a few large enough to be included in the Seed of Success program at BLM.

Revegetation Technical Assistance and Facilitation : R2R continues to facilitate the SE Utah Riparian Partnership which is a multi agency collaboration working on restoration efforts along the Colorado River and its side drainages. Work in 2023 included managing field crews at various project sites holding interagency meetings and making connections between partnering entities.

Mill and Pack Creek Revegetation with Fire Fuels and Flood Mitigation: R2R continued work to help coordinate interagency community based planning and restoration in Mill and Pack Creeks. This work focused in town but also expanded up into Pack Creek in preparation for work in spring 2024 high in the watershed. Expenses logged at the end of 2022 were paid in 2023 so our revenue appears higher than costs during the fiscal year.
