Summary: Volunteers will protect this important watershed area by removing the non-native plant, tamarisk.
Description: The San Miguel River in southwest Colorado is one of the last free-flowing rivers in the Colorado River watershed. The river supports a nearly continuous belt of riparian forest dominated by native cottonwoods and willows. This striking area contains some of the best examples and rarest associations of riparian vegetation in the west. VOC is joining The Nature Conservancy for a second time in their five-year "Saving the Natives" tamarisk eradication project. Previous VOC eradication efforts were so successful that we have been invited to return and remove more of this non-native, destructive water-hogging plant. Join us on this critical project to help save important wildlife habitat and preserve this outstanding riparian ecosystem.
