Description: 30th ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIVE PROJECT
This year Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado turns 30! This project is one of nine 30th Anniversary Commemorative Projects we are hosting to highlight VOC's long-standing history caring for Colorado's outdoors.
STEWARDSHIP SITE
Chautauqua Park is a portion of an iconic historic landmark dating back to when the City of Boulder began preserving wild lands over 100 years ago. In 1898, Boulder citizens approved a bond issue to purchase 80 acres to be used as a "Chautauqua." The park land owned by Boulder Parks and Recreation is located adjacent to Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) trails, Chautauqua Dining Hall and Auditorium, and Chautauqua Ranger Cottage.
VOLUNTEER PROJECT - WHAT & WHY
As one of Boulder's most popular outdoor destinations, Chautauqua Park trails have suffered from erosion issues due to steep grades and high use. Volunteers will work to lay crusher fines material on nearly 1,000 feet of trail. Volunteer efforts will help provide an enjoyable and safe experience for future visitors to the park.
