Summary: Join your coworkers for a day of trail maintenance at O'Fallon Park!
Description: Where You'll Be:O'Fallon Mountain Park is part of the Denver Mountain Park network and provides Front Range residents with superb hiking opportunities only 25 minutes from downtown. The area's rolling hills, flower-filled meadows, ponderosa pines, and great views reward users with a gorgeous mountain escape from city life.
What You'll Do: Help perform critical trail maintenance tasks on this Friday project! There will be something for everyone from drainage structures to light trail maintenance, providing a great opportunity to explore natural areas close to Denver and give back to your public lands.
Why It Matters: By restoring and maintaining the trail, you will create a safer and more sustainable experience for hikers that will protect the unique cross-section of plant communities and habitat in this deservedly popular and wonderfully accessible natural space getaway.

Project Summary: all went great on this swat! great turnout from LM employees and they were wonderful volunteers out on the trail. Ryan Philian with DMP was there and i would not have been able to do it without his leadership and instruction. we did all the work that ryan wanted to get done just in time for the rain to start on our hike out.
Successes and Challenges: did not have any crew leaders (for 16 volunteers) so ryan was the only one to get everyone lined out. volunteers were patient with us.
