About the Stewardship Site
Acquired by the City of Denver in 1919, Dedisse Park sits in the heart of Evergreen and includes the Evergreen Lake House and nearby golf course. The north and west parts of the park is home to forested foothills scenery, picnic areas, and trails connecting to Jefferson County's Alderfer/Three Sisters Park. The worksite itself is situated above Evergreen Lake, and can be accessed via an easy walk.
About the Volunteer Experience
Work will involve basic new trail construction, along with some trail restoration and closure tasks. Volunteers ages 12 and up will perform a 2,000-foot reroute of the existing Dedisse Trail that will ensure its sustainability for years to come, as well as reduce erosion and its negative effects on the surrounding habitat. This is a large project and is a perfect fit for corporate, school, and community groups. Morning refreshments and a light lunch will be provided to keep volunteers fueled and ready to serve!
About the Overall Impact
The reroute will provide a safer and much more enjoyable trail experience for recreationalists, including hikers and mountain bikers.
