Utah Friends of Paleontology, Gastonia Chapter
The Moab chapter of the Utah Friends of Paleontology, a statewide volunteer group that works with the Utah Geological Survey and museum paleontologists. Meets on the last Wednesday of each month from January to October at 6:00 p.m. in the front conference room of the Grand Center, 182 N 500 W, Moab; talks are free and open to everyone. The chapter runs field trips and volunteer projects, such as the yearly upkeep of the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Tracksite.
Around here, the land is mostly private
Within 50 miles of Moab our maps show no open public land to prospect. That is exactly why a club matters here: clubs have the landowner permissions, the leases and the know-how.
Nearest open public land on our fossil and meteorite map: about 62 miles away.
