Winiger Ridge

Forest Restoration & Trail Project

September 29 & 30, 2012

Come and join us in the fall for a fantastic restoration and trail
project in the mountains just west of Boulder.  Winiger Ridge is known
for it's significant wildlife habitat and wide range of recreational
opportunities.  The work site is where the ridge extends into Gross
Reservoir creating a peninsula.  The elevation is about 7,400 feet and
the views of the lake, mountains, and fall colors are spectacular.
This should make it a perfect place to work and camp in late
September.



Recently, Denver Water and the US Forest Service have improved the
access road, designated camp sites, built a parking area, and closed
some of the damaging roads that were impacting the shoreline of Gross
Reservoir.  These changes were made to mitigate human impacts and
improve wildlife habitat and water supply.



VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES

WRV volunteers will be constructing about 1,230 feet of new trail
providing access from the new parking area to campsites and the lake
shore. Volunteers will be plant native seeds, install erosion matting,
and mulching 1,100 feet of closed roads that will be decompacted with
heavy equipment.



We'll camp in a beautiful area near the work site.  Food is provided
by talented veteran WRV cooks!  Friday night arrival is encouraged to
get a great start in the morning.  We still have spaces left, so hop
on board and register now for this much-needed restoration work!



To celebrate Public Lands Day, volunteers will receive a free pass for
entrance into a National Park or other federal lands fee areas.



More details will be sent after you register - about 7 days prior to
the project.
