Where You'll Be:
Not far from Denver off I-70, Genesee Park feels a world away with over 2,000 acres to explore. It is one of the oldest parks in the Denver Mountain Parks system and is home to the historic Beaver Brook Trail, coveted hiker-only trails, and a herd of bison! Its proximity to Denver and diverse recreation opportunities make this park a popular pick for families and groups. The exact meeting location will be shared via email at least 7 days prior to the project.
What You'll Do:
Volunteers will help with much-needed trail maintenance at the park, just a short trip from the Denver metro area. Tasks may include clearing the trail corridor by trimming overgrown vegetation to keep paths open and safe, maintaining drainage by removing debris and improving water flow to prevent erosion, and repairing the tread to smooth and reinforce the trail surface for a safer and more durable path. This is a great opportunity for new volunteers and anyone interested in learning more about trail restoration while enjoying a beautiful outdoor setting.
Why It Matters:
Volunteers will enhance trail safety and sustainability, helping to protect the diverse plant habitat in this natural getaway just a short trip from the Denver metro area.
