On September 14, a team of Conservation Center volunteers and Forest Service staff from the Paonia Ranger District will venture into the Raggeds Wilderness to clean up and clear out a legacy of trash left to rot by irresponsible public land users.
Up to 15 people and four pack animals are required for this all-day endeavor, which will depart from Horse Ranch Park on Kebler Pass Road. Approximately seven miles of this looping route, popular with equestrians and hunters, will be cleared of beer cans, fuel bottles, and discarded refuse. Expert horsemen and horsewomen are needed to carry out bulky items such as camp stoves, as well as the bags of collected garbage.
This event is free to the public. For more information, contact Brian at the Conservation Center at (970) 527-5307 x206 or email [email protected]
