ASCE Denver Branch YMG Colorado Trail Cleanup Event
Please join us for a trail cleanup event from Saturday June 5 8 am - 2 pm. The plan is to meet at the Buffalo Creek Trailhead adjacent to the Meadows Group Campground to park and then hike in with our equipment to do some trail maintenance work. Mainly focusing on clearing plants from the trail way, cleaning out culverts, and building check dams for erosion control. If you don't know much about trail maintenance don't worry - I will be giving a short lesson on trail maintenance at the beginning of the morning. If you are interested in joining please RSVP and fill out this waiver: https://coloradotrail.org/volunteer/adopt-a-trail/forms-for-adopters/adopter-waiver-and-release/
