Thank you for signing up to help with an Earth Day Trail Rehab at Pineridge Natural Area! This project will attempt to heal social trails that have developed through increased usage during COVID and will use an integrated approach to close, reseed, and plant along the widened trails at this popular Natural Area. Some of the activities will include installing buck and rail fencing, planting shrubs, and hand-broadcasting native seed which will be raked into trail scars. Interpretive signage stating that the project area is under restoration will also be installed. There will be activities for a wide range of ages and is a great way to get to know more about your Natural Areas and give back to these public lands during National Volunteer Week and Earth Day. Here are some important things to know before signing up: 1) This event is for community members ages 12+ and no dogs are allowed at this event. 2) All participants must sign up through this link and will be prompted to sign a waiver (yay for less paper at the event!) 3) We will be meeting at Spring Canyon Community Park (please park by Dog Park) and traveling up the trail together for the work day. Hiking of approximately a half-mile in each direction will be required. 4) More specific information about logistics will be available once you sign up. Please meet at the Spring Canyon Community Park (3156 S Overland Trail, Fort Collins, CO 80526) by 10:00 am. Volunteers will be given an important safety talk and then split into groups before hitting the trail. Carpooling is encouraged due to other events scheduled at this location. Snacks and water jugs (for refills) will be provided, but please bring your own water container, warm/layered clothing, close-toed footwear adequate for a dirt path, and any other items for a morning of comfort outdoors in a variety of weather conditions. Please reach out to Rachel Balduzzi with any questions (970) 577-1568 or [email protected].
