Utah Low-Tech Wet Meadow Restoration: Virtual Workshop

May 24, 2023

9:30 AM – 12:00 PM MST

- Break -

1:00 PM – 3:00 PM MST

Wet meadows are rare but disproportionately important ecosystems in Utah. Gully erosion and channel incision are widespread problems reducing natural resiliency and water storage capacity, which is impacting wildlife and working lands. Simple, low-tech restoration methods developed for dry lands of the desert southwest by Bill Zeedyk provide effective tools for protecting and restoring meadow systems. These techniques are cost-effective and hand-built, allowing more people to participate in restoration. 

In this one-day virtual workshop, Utah land managers and partners will be introduced to: reading the landscape to recognize meadow conservation opportunities, various low-tech “Zeedyk” structures (e.g., One Rock Dams, Zuni Bowls), project planning, implementation, and monitoring.

This event will be recorded and shared publicly after the event concludes.

Wasatch and Summit Counties Horticulture Needs Survey

The purpose of this survey is to help USU Extension better understand the horticulture-related needs of those in Wasatch and Summit Counties in order to better design programs, workshops, and educational materials. We're here to serve you and want to do that better!

Wasatch Back Fruit Tree Citizen Science Project



The purpose of this survey is to collect names and contact information (email) for anyone along the Wasatch Back that is interested in participating in the Wasatch Back Fruit Tree Citizen Science Project. The goal of this project is to gather local data on fruit trees (only APPLE AND PEACH currently) bloom time, fruit set, and ripening timing. By giving your name and email in this survey, you are indicating that you want me (Wesley Crump) to contact you with additional surveys close to bloom and harvest time (and send reminders during these periods). The information in those additional surveys will be extremely helpful for others in the valley wanting to know what fruit tree cultivars reliably perform well. Please contact me (wesley.crump@usu.edu) with any questions, thanks!
