High Country Fly Fishers of Park City (Trout Unlimited Chapter 599) has obtained a grant from Ross Reels and Coors to restore the Soapstone Basin following the Yellow Lake fire in Fall 2024. The goal of this project is to slow the flow of water off the burn scar and to remove the ash and debris from the fire before it reaches the Provo River headwaters.

We are seeking 200 conservation-minded volunteers to help cut and stake willow starts, plant native plants and sow native grasses on a one-mile stretch of Soapstone Creek. We will also weave 50 Beaver Dam Analogs (BDAs) in the creek itself which will slow the flows in the creek and hold water so the newly planted willow starts can take root.

Volunteers will be needed on the weekends of August 8^th and 15^th, as well as on August 12^th and 14^th during that week.
