Volunteer Opportunity – Riparian Protection Project
August 01 | 9:00 AM
| Minturn Park and Ride
Project Description:
Eagle River Coalition is seeking volunteers on Friday, August 1, from 9 am – 1 pm, to help maintain previously planted trees that are part of a riparian restoration project along the Eagle River in Minturn.
Our goal will be to remove t-posts that were originally used to stabilize and support the newly planted trees, and replace metal mesh beaver deterrent wrap around the trees.
