Where you'll be:
Fillius Park is situated just north of Evergreen near highway I-70 and offers great hiking and picnicking opportunities near Denver. The park is also home to one of the most important structures in the entire Denver Mountain Parks system. The stone shelter was constructed in 1918 by Denver architect J.J. Benedict. The park also boasts two roads that loop the park constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the late 1930s. 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's important:
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 and historical areas like Fillius Park.
