Work with the Sierra Club Office to select a proposed wilderness unit to adopt.

Obtain an “Adopter’s Packet” for your selected unit from the Sierra Club Office.

Obtain the necessary “Adopter’s Tools” for your unit.

Draw the Utah Wilderness Coalition’s wilderness unit boundaries on your
adopter Tool Maps.

Research and learn about the biology, and other natural and human history of your area and its surroundings.

Complete adoption tasks.

A set of the 1:100,000 series maps (usually you will only need one) and a set of the 7.5 minute quad maps listed in your Adopter’s Packet. (These maps are usually between $4-5 available at the DNR Bookstore, UT-ID Map World, REI, and USGS etc...)

Camera and extra film for fieldwork photo documentation (any camera will do)

Mechanical pencils

Compass

Notebook for field notes

Tape measure

To expand the network of Utah Wilderness supporters across the country, and Adopter living inside the State of Utah will be paired with an Adopter living out of state for each unit. As use of electronic communication increases, we hope most coordination between in and out of state Adopters can be accomplished by email or over the Website Bulletin Board.
