CCYC Crews not only make a difference in stewarding this living landscape, but also receive hands-on experience, training, and certifications that prepare them for careers in land management and conservation.

CCYC provides opportunities for youth & young adults to participate in service projects on public lands in Southeastern Utah in partnership with regional land-managing agencies. The CCYC Crew Leader is an AmeriCorps position that leads a crew of 3-4 Crew Members on conservation projects around Utah.

Within BEP, much of this work is led by Policy Director Carleton Bowekaty (Zuni Pueblo). His position works closely with our generous funders at New Pluralists, to ensure all stakeholders in these protection efforts have a seat at the table.

We have been working for more than a decade to support the Tribal efforts to protect these areas. In particular, our team leads efforts on the “Lands Between,” a temporary name for an archaeologically rich – yet unprotected – area between Bears Ears and Canyon of the Ancients National Monuments.

Make your donation by December 31st and your impact will be doubled! Give today to ensure our on-the-ground work to protect this living landscape continues to grow, despite funding freezes and uncertainty.

BEP is committed to implementing this Resource Management Plan on-the-ground in partnership with Tribes, agencies, community partners, and other nongovernmental organizations.

This plan prioritizes Traditional Indigenous Knowledge alongside western land management practices to steward the irreplaceable cultural and natural resources of this living landscape.

The Bears Ears Resource Management Plan – the result of several years of collaboration between Tribes, agencies, and nongovernmental partners like BEP – provides a historic vision for co-management of public lands.

Honoring Indigenous knowledge and uplifting Indigenous leadership is vital to our mission of protecting and building respect for the Bears Ears landscape.

Your donations ensure crews have what they need to steward and protect the living landscape of the greater Bears Ears region, despite federal funding freezes. Can you help us reach our goal to raise $150k by the end of 2025?
