St. Vrain Tamarisk Removal Volunteer Event
Join Wildlands Restoration Volunteers for an upcoming volunteer opportunity!
Enjoy panoramic views of the Front Range and heal a local area deeply impacted by the 2013 flood! In the aftermath of the flood, millions of tamarisk seedlings germinated, which pose a major threat to the watershed should they mature. Volunteers will continue work from the past few years, removing tamarisk through hand pulling, weed wrenching, and cut & stump treatment with herbicide.

Restoration Event
Dolores River Riparian Planting
Restoration Event in Gateway on Friday, November 9, 9am - 3:30pm. We'll plant native plants in the Dolores River riparian corridor- immediately downstream of the bridge over the Dolores River in Gateway. This is part of a multi-year effort by Dolores River Restoration Partnership to enrich the vegetation community of the site, since tamarisk was removed several years ago and a cottonwood gallery has been restored.
