Georgia Pass-Glacier Peak
Rehabilitation Project
September 8-9, 2012
New Fencing Project Dates!
August 29-30

Your Help is Needed!

We are thrilled to be gearing up for one of our largest alpine
projects of the year and happy to announce a new additional date for
helping with staging and fence construction- August 29. Come and join
us on what is expected to be a beautiful fall weekend, spread alpine
seed, enjoy the changing fall colors and stunning views, and camp with
us!  This project will feel like a vacation away from home. At our
luxurious base camp we will have at a beautiful creek side site in the
valley below where we will be working. The couple hour drive from
Denver gives us the feel of a real mountain escape .



Wildlands Restoration Volunteers (WRV), working in partnership with
the Friends of Dillon Ranger District, has teamed up with the Dillon
Ranger District to restore a section of road that unsustainably runs
directly up to this alpine peak.  Our goal is to work with local users
and community members to encourage sustainable use of the area while
rehabilitating highly eroded areas such as this road.



VOLUNTEER WORK

On August 29th (and potentially 30th if we don't finish) we will be
staging materials using high clearance off-road vehicles and
constructing buck and rail fencing to close the area off.  If you have
have a truck and want to help with moving material please email
jarret@wlrv.org . But don't worry if you drive something with the
clearance of a Prius, we would still love to have you up there for the
day helping with fencing.

On September 8th and 9th (Saturday and Sunday), we will be repairing
over a mile of eroded road that is washing out and unraveling the
alpine vegetation. The project will be an opportunity to learn and
have fun doing a variety of technical restoration skills including
installing erosion matting, seeding, installing straw wattles and much
more!  In addition to trail construction we will also be closing a
portion of unsustainable trail and restoring it to natural forest
conditions.



At 11,600 feet in elevation, this moderate to difficult work will
focus on: obliteration of a quickly eroding road and restoration.



We will camp in a beautiful area down the valley from the work site.
Food is provided by talented veteran WRV cooks.  Friday night arrival
is encouraged to get a great start in the morning.



This project is still in need of 60 more volunteers.  Please help us
spread the word about this fun project to your friends and neighbors
so we can get this important trail work done.



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