Help power the National Parks Traveler’s coverage of national parks and protected areas.
Across the National Park System, some 2 million acres have been invaded by non-native vegetation. At Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Utah, crews physically cut down Russian olive trees and use Roundup to prevent regrowth of this invader.
National Parks Traveler Editor Kurt Repanshek backpacked in with the crew from Grand Staircase Escalante Partners to learn more about this project and watch them at work.
"The Escalante River traverses some of the finest canyon country of the Colorado Plateau and offers river-floating enthusiasts the opportunity to enjoy magnificent, wild, redrock canyon scenery. Because it is rugged and remote and sustains only limited flows, the Escalante River also provides unique challenges to the river runner."
