Jake Johnson is an ACE EPIC member serving as a Water Resources Member with the Bureau of Land Management.
Jake spends his days on the Virgin River doing work most people never think about — seining for native fish like the Virgin River Chub and Woundfin, tracking harmful algal blooms, running rotenone treatments on invasive species, helping adjudicate water rights that keep this whole system functioning.
As a Water Resources Member with ACE EPIC, placed with the BLM`s Color Country District Office, Jake`s living out something we believe: conservation isn`t a solo sport. His work pulls in the U.S. Forest Service, Utah DNR, The Nature Conservancy, BYU, and Southern Utah University — agencies and institutions that don`t always end up in the same room.
In his words: "The challenges facing our public lands and natural resources are far too large and complex for any one agency to address alone."

You don’t move a tree like that solo 🪾
Every ACE crew leans on teamwork daily, whether that’s clearing a downed tree together or hauling gear over rough terrain. It’s one of the most practical skills members walk away with, right alongside the technical ones.
Conservation work is rarely a one-person job. And teamwork is a skill you build with your hands.

Not all conservation corp work is trail building and downed tree clearing ðŸƒ
ACE EPIC members Anna and Eli helped respond to a Key deer with a small piece of PVC pipe stuck on its hoof. Using safe, well-coordinated capture techniques, the debris was removed and the deer was released in under 5 minutes 🦌
This effort was coordinated with the Key Deer Research and Response Program—a collaborative program between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
A reminder: check your job sites for leftover PVC and other trash. Even something this small can entangle wildlife.
