We are offering a “tour day” led by USFS staff. We will not be undertaking any restoration work--this outing is intended to be educational, informal, and fun. Attendees will see restoration sites that volunteers helped with in past years. This is an opportunity to monitor these sites and understand how structures operate years after construction.

Project location: Bottom of the Henkel Road. Located off CO Road 730. We request that participants with high clearance vehicles help carpool others up to project sites. Please bring a mask to wear when in vehicles.

Wet meadows and riparian areas in sagebrush shrublands provide important brood-rearing habitat for the threatened Gunnison Sage-grouse. These habitats are also important for numerous other species, including neo-tropical migratory birds, elk and mule deer, as well as ranchers for livestock grazing. A number of wet meadows and riparian areas, already compromised by erosion and lower water tables, are likely to be further altered from drought and high intensity rainstorms associated with a changing climate.

We request that participants with high clearance vehicles help carpool others up to project sites. Please bring a mask to wear when in vehicles.

Participants will receive details on specific meeting locations following registration.
