Sugar Magnolia

Trail Restoration/Construction

August 13 & 14, 2011
Beat the Beetles!  Beat the Heat! Join us!

20 spaces left - volunteers needed



Only 30 minutes' drive from Boulder, (3 minutes from a motel in
Nederland!) the extremely popular West Magnolia trail network
southwest of Nederland will be severely impacted by the exploding
mountain pine beetle epidemic and we'd like you to join us in
mitigation efforts there. To do this, and cut down on the extreme
wildfire danger, the USFS will be doing extensive fuels treatment
(typically tree thinning of beetle-infested trees) in the area, thus
impacting over nine miles of very popular trails, which have been
enhanced dramatically in the past few years by volunteer effort.



On August 13 & 14 (Saturday and Sunday) WRV will conduct a pilot
project on about 7,000 feet of the trail system to mitigate the
effects of the fuels treatments.



At 8,000+ feet in elevation, this moderate to difficult trail
treatment will include: construction of a great new trail to replace
an unsustainable eroded trail, trail side revegetation and
seeding.



WRV will collaborate closely with the Boulder Mountainbike Alliance.
We'll camp in a beautiful area near the worksite.  Food is provided by
talented veteran WRV cooks!  Friday night arrival is encouraged to get
a great start in the morning.  We still have 20 spaces left, so hop on
board and register now for this much-needed restoration work!



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