Expired

Description

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 - from picnicking to backcountry hiking - make this park a popular pick with everyone from families and groups. Exact meeting location will be shared via email at least 7 days prior to the project.

What You'll Do:

Volunteers will perform much-needed maintenance at the park. Work may include corridor clearing, drainage maintenance, tread maintenance and more! This is a great opportunity for new volunteers and those wanting to learn more about trail restoration in a beautiful setting.

Why It Matters:

Trail maintenance matters from an ecological and environmental standpoint because it ensures a safe and sustainable route for people to use, which keeps the surrounding habitat safe and minimizes the human impacts on flora and fauna, especially in high-use areas like Genesee.

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Ages 16+
