Where you'll be:
The Nature & Wildlife Discovery Center's (NWDC) Mountain Campus is in the historic Pueblo Mountain Park, a 611-acre public park located in Beulah Valley. Beulah is approximately a 26-mile drive outside of Pueblo. You'll have the opportunity to learn about birds of prey at a live raptor show on Saturday night!
What you'll do:
Join us in a trailblazing endeavor as we reroute sections of the trail, clear corridors, maintain tread surfaces, and install drainage structured to preserve the integrity of the trail’s slopes and improve the user experience.
Enjoy breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, along with dinner on Saturday. Bring your own lunch (BYOL). Free campsites are available on Friday night and Saturday night, and volunteers are encouraged to arrive at base camp before 8 pm on Friday.
Why it's important:
You will support the NWDC in a two-year plan to revitalize three of its most utilized trails. Your efforts will enhance the sustainability of these well-trodden paths, ensuring safe and enjoyable adventures for all users.
