RIM TO RIM RESTORATION

Mill and Pack Creek Revegetation with Fire Fuels and Flood Mitigation: Rim to Rim continues to coordinate interagency community-based planning and restoration in Mill and Pack creeks to address fire and flood concerns while also improving wildlife habitat. In addition to working along the creek corridors in town Rim to Rim also facilitated significant stream restoration high in the Pack Creek drainage on U.S. Forest Service land to protect the aquifer underneath Moab. At the end of 2024 Rim to Rim was awarded multi-year funding from the U.S. Forest Service to expand its partner-based work removing exotic plant species along the Mill and Pack creek corridors that create fire fuel hazards and magnify the impacts of flash floods. This portion of Rim to Rims work which also includes robust community outreach will expand in 2025. Funding for this work is provided on the state of Utahfiscal year so expenses and revenue do not always match
