Project Description:

Eagle River Coalition and Eagle County Open Space are seeking volunteers to help enhance riparian habitat by employing processed based restoration through building low-tech structures along Brush Creek on the Brush Creek Valley Ranch & Open Space property in Eagle, CO. Please remember, this part of BCVROS is not open to the public, we are accessing it specifically for this project The goal of the project is to restore stream complexity and prevent future degradation.

This project will take place Saturday Sept. 28 & Sunday Sept. 29 from 9am – 3pm. Lunch will be provided both days. Volunteers may register for one or both days.

Volunteers should expect to get wet, as work will take place in the creek, and the work will be fairly arduous (moving heavy objects like logs, working in the sun with minimal shade, working on unstable footing).
