Description

Where You'll Be:

Pence Park is a beautiful, quiet respite just thirty minutes from Denver. Pence Park's wide variety of trails has become a popular destination for hikers and bikers along the Front Range. Mountain bikers flock from miles around to ride from Lair O' the Bear to Pence Park, a scenic 13 miles. Pence Park's unique array of wildlife includes bald eagles, Mexican spotted owls, the Preble's jumping mouse, and the Townsend's big eared bat. 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 Pence Park.
