In conjunction with Capitol Reef National Park, UVU sponsors summer internships for its students at Capitol Reef National Park and at Capitol Reef Field Station.
Capitol Reef Field Station has been selected as a 2025 Leave No Trace Spotlight. Leave No Trace will be at Capitol Reef Field Station November 13-15, 2025, collaborating with Capitol Reef National Park, Torrey Dark Night Skies and partners on a variety of programs including stewardship projects, workshops, and community outreach.
Each year, Leave No Trace selects nominated outdoor spaces that need our collective care and attention as Spotlights. Together we will rally the local community to step up, join forces with Leave No Trace, and make a meaningful impact to protect Spotlight Location and grow our stewardship efforts.
Come out to the Capitol Reef Visitor Center and connect with staff from Leave No Trace, Capitol Reef Field Station, and the National Park Service. Enjoy quick games and interactive activities that make it easy and exciting to discover how you can help keep our parks beautiful and thriving. Learn simple ways to keep our parks clean, be a good steward, and protect wildlife, cultural resources, and nature all around us.
This interactive presentation provides participants with tips, tools, and best practices to effectively communicate the hows and whys behind Leave No Trace through robust discussion and participant engagement. This workshop is specifically designed for agency employees, partners, guide services, outfitters, friends’ groups, volunteers, and others who educate and interface with the public in a formal capacity or work on messaging and communications for a site. Participants will discuss local impacts and generate clear, succinct, and focused social and ecological reasons for individuals to engage in practices that help avoid these impacts.

– Bring water, snacks, sun protection, and dress for the weather.
– Long pants and closed-toed shoes required.
