Faces of the Canyon Country Youth Corps
The Canyon Country Youth Corps (CCYC) is a program operated by the Four Corners School of Outdoor Education in Monticello, Utah. CCYC provides employment opportunities for youth and young adults, ages 15-25, to participate in conservation projects on public lands in Southeastern Utah in partnership with the land-managing agencies of the region.
Participants help to ensure the health and accessibility of these lands through projects such as: creating and maintaining trails, fuel mitigation, fence construction and maintenance, and habitat restoration.
CCYC opens connection to the natural world and self-growth through an education component. Participants learn about the environment, career building, leadership, and communication.
Our office is located at the heart of the Colorado Plateau in Monticello, UT. CCYC crews work in the beautiful Four Corners Region.
Crew members and crew leaders work on conservation projects in the Spring, Summer, and Fall.
Memebers have the opportunity to earn a wage while learning life-long job skills. They can also complete their GED as well as receive an AmeriCorps education award.

Meet Moabosaurus: Utah's newest dinosaur identified by BYU geologists
BYU professors have discovered a new species of dinosaur Moabosaurus utensis, named to honor Moab, Utah, which paleontologists consider Utah’s 'gold mine.'
The bones of the dinosaur were unearthed near Moab, Utah.
The 32-foot herbivore is a relative of the long-necked Brontosaurus and Brachiosaurus.
An assembled skeleton is on display at BYU’s Museum of Paleontology in Provo, Utah.
Three BYU professors and a BYU graduate at Auburn University have published their discovery of a new species of sauropod dinosaur, Moabosaurus utahensis. The 125-million-year-old dinosaur skeleton of a 32-foot herbivore was assembled using bones extracted from the Dalton Wells Quarry, near Arches National Park.
BYU geology professor and lead author Brooks Britt explained that in analyzing dinosaur bones, he and colleagues rely on constant comparisons with other related specimens. If there are enough distinguishing features to make it unique, it’s new.
“It’s like looking at a piece of a car,” Britt said. “You can look at it and say it belongs to a Ford sedan, but it’s not exactly a Focus or a Fusion or a Fiesta. We do the same with dinosaurs.”
Moabosaurus belongs to a group of herbivorous dinosaurs known as sauropods, which includes giants such as Brontosaurus and Brachiosaurus, who had long necks and pillar-like legs. Moabosaurus is most closely related to species found in Spain and Tanzania, which tells researchers that during its time, there were still intermittent physical connections between Europe, Africa and North America.
Moabosaurus lived in Utah before it resembled the desert we know — when it was filled with large trees, plentiful streams, lakes and dinosaurs. “We always think of Moab in terms of tourism and outdoor activities, but a paleontologist thinks of Moab as a gold mine for dinosaur bones,” Britt said.
In naming the species, Britt and his team, which included BYU Museum of Paleontology curator Rodney Scheetz and biology professor Michael Whiting, decided to pay tribute to that gold mine. “We’re honoring the city of Moab and the State of Utah because they were so supportive of our excavation efforts over the decades it’s taken us to pull the animal out of the ground,” Britt said, referencing the digs that began when he was a BYU geology student in the late ’70s.
A previous study indicates that a large number of Moabosaurus and other dinosaurs died in a severe drought. Survivors trampled their fallen companions’ bodies, crushing their bones. After the drought ended, streams eroded the land, and transported the bones a short distance, where they were again trampled. Meanwhile, insects in the soils fed on the bones, leaving behind tell-tale burrow marks.
“We’re lucky to get anything out of this site,” Britt said. “Most bones we find are fragmentary, so only a small percentage of them are usable. And that’s why it took so long to get this animal put together: we had to collect huge numbers of bones in order to get enough that were complete.”
BYU has a legacy of collecting dinosaurs that started in the early 1960s, and Britt and colleagues are continuing their excavation efforts in eastern Utah. Moabosaurus now joins a range of other findings currently on display at BYU’s Museum of Paleontology — though, until its placard is updated, it’s identified as “Not yet named” (pronunciation: NOT-yet-NAIM-ed).
“Sure, we could find bones at other places in the world, but we find so many right here in Utah,” Britt said. “You don’t have to travel the world to discover new animals.”

Preserving America's Landscape Legacy
This video examines the importance of preserving the integrity of America's historic landscapes. Beginning with the role of landscape in film, the video uses landscapes familiar to most Americans to foster an understanding of how landscapes grow and change, but must still be preserved.
Narrated by Angela Lansbury.
TOP 15 STRANGEST HOLES OUR EARTH
TOP 15 STRANGEST HOLES OUR EARTH.
In man’s search for mineral wealth, many enormous holes have been dug. In addition, nature occasionally produces some astounding holes. This list is a pick of the ten most spectacular natural or manmade holes in the face of the earth. Many thanks to rushfan for sending in the images for this list.
1 – The Heavenly Pit - The Heavenly Pit sinkhole in China is located in Xiaozhai, Tiankeng in the Chongqing District. It is a double-nested sinkhole measuring 662 metres deep, 626 metres long and 537 metres wide.
2 – The Sawmill Sink - Another blue hole in the Bahamas, the Sawmill Sink has more scientific significance than extreme sports attraction Dean’s Blue Hole. The Sawmill Sink was the site of an archaeological dig that has helped change scientists’ views on what the landscape was like 1,000 years ago.
3 – Bingham Canyon Mine - The Bingham Canyon Mine is a copper mine in the Oquirrh mountains, Utah. The mine is 1.2 vertical kilometres deep and 4 kilometres wide.
4 – Dean’s Blue Hole - Blue holes are underwater holes, and the world’s largest discovered blue hole is Dean’s Blue Hole in the Bahamas. At a depth of 202 metres, Dean’s Blue Hole is more than twice as deep as most other blue holes, making it a favourite among professional deep-sea divers.
5 – Monticello Dam - Located in northern California, the Monticello Dam is the largest ‘morning glory spillway’ in the world. Dam water is swallowed at a rate of 1,370 cubic metres per second and, thanks to the dam’s funnel-shaped outlet, is allowed to bypass the dam when it reaches capacity.
6 – Harwood Hole - Harwood Hole, located in New Zealand’s Abel Tasman National Park, is one of several important cave systems in Takaka Hill, between the Tasman and Golden Bays.
7 – Siberian Holes - Three holes were recently discovered in Siberia. The first, estimated to be 50–100 metres across, has been found to have a lake at the bottom of it; the second hole, miles from the first on a peninsula lovingly referred to as ‘The End of the World.
8 – Mirny Diamond Mine - The Mirny Diamond Mine was the first developed and largest diamond mine in the Soviet Union. It’s 525 metres deep and has a top diameter of 1,200 metres.
9 – Dead Sea Holes- The Israeli town of Ein Gedi has over 3,000 open sinkholes along its coast. Experts believe there are twice as many more that have yet to open up
10 – Guatemala Sinkholes - In 2007, a 300-foot-deep sinkhole swallowed a dozen homes in Guatemala, killing two and causing thousands of residents to evacuate.
11 – The Devil’s Sinkhole - Edwards County, Texas is the home of The Devil’s Sinkhole, a massive underground limestone chamber with an opening 15 metres wide and a cavern 106 metres deep.
12 – The Deluxe Mystery Hole - The Deluxe Mystery Hole is a backyard attraction off Oregon’s I-205 freeway. According to the owner and promoter, it’s the most amazing archaeological site in the state.
13 – German Superdeep Hole - Germany’s famous superdeep hole was the result of the German Continental Deep Drilling Program, one of the most ambitious geoscientific projects ever.
14 – Udachnaya Pipe - The Udachnaya Pipe is a diamond mine in Russia. It was discovered on June 15, 1955, just two days after the discovery of the diamond pipe Mir.
15 – Great Blue Hole - An underwater sinkhole located 60 miles off the coast of Belize. The hole is 300 metres across and 125 metres deep, and is found in the centre of the Lighthouse Reef.
