Summary: Help restore a popular biking trail that has suffered severe erosion in Pence Park, just outside of Evergreen.
Description:
STEWARDSHIP SITE
Pence Park, located just outside of Evergreen in Jefferson County, is a popular park for hikers and mountain bikers. Many mountain bikers flock to ride from Lair of the Bear to Pence Park which offers a scenic 13 mile ride just minutes from the Denver metro area.
VOLUNTEER PROJECT - WHAT & WHY
Riders who bike to Pence Park from Lair of the Bear tend to get creative in their route back to Lair of the Bear by shortcutting the trail system. Volunteers will help complete a loop within the park that will limit address off-trail use. Because the trail is not currently defined, many visitors have gone off the trail, which has caused severe erosion.
