Hey, it’s Austin.

My project will be a water conservation/forest fire mitigation/habitat restoration effort. This will include ladder fuel clearing in almost 80 acres of forested land, and selective tree removal to restore vital beaver habitat along the tributaries to the North Catamount Reservoir. Both of these will help to protect the drinking water of over 100,000 people in Colorado Springs.

 I need volunteers over the course of two days, September 7th and 8th from 8:00am to 5:00pm.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided and refreshments will be available.

Troop,
Our next trip is a backpacking campout in Music Pass just south of Westcliffe, CO and the Crestone Mountains. We will meet at the barn Friday at 5pm and drive to Music Pass. We need 4×4 vehicles to access the parking lot so we will probably need to carpool. We will plan to car camp at the parking lot which is really pretty and has plenty of nice camping options for Friday night. On Saturday, we can pack up and hike up and over Music Pass into the valley. The hike is about 2.2 miles depending on where we decide to camp. There are short day hike options to lakes or shorter peaks in the area.

We plan to return to the barn by noon on Sunday. We’re also looking for more adult supervision.

Sign up if you are planning to attend.
