On April 24, 2025, the industry came together for a meaningful day of service during the annual Tribal Community Cleanup, a collaborative effort to support and beautify areas across the Uinta Basin.

Kicking off with breakfast and opening ceremonies at the Fort Duchesne Gym, participants received supplies and dispersed to their assigned areas to begin the cleanup efforts. Volunteers spent the morning collecting debris along roadways and throughout designated zones, with full trash bags left roadside for pickup by tribal departments or hauled to large disposal containers stationed throughout the communities.

UPA was proud to be represented at the event, with Eden Newell joining the Finley Resources/Uinta Wax team for a productive and impactful cleanup in the Murrayville area. Other participating companies included Redhand, Four Point, KODA, Greylock, SM Energy, Williams, Scout, Crescent Energy, Javelin Energy Partners, BHI, WEM, Strata, Spectra and Moonlake Electric — each lending time and hands-on support across various locations.

The event wrapped with lunch served at the gym by Res Dogs, bringing volunteers back together to reflect on the morning’s efforts and celebrate the shared commitment to community stewardship.

A heartfelt thank you to all participating companies and organizers for making this cleanup a success. It’s one more example of how Utah’s oil and natural gas industry continues to show up and support the communities where we live and work.
