SAVE THE DATE! October 9, 2021
Boulder County Parks and Open Space has been making some progress cleaning up Heil Valley Ranch after the Calwood Fire. They had hoped to be able to re-open the south of the Park this fall, but unfortunately will not be able to meet that goal until spring of 2022. However, volunteers can help accelerate the project.
Help BATCO get it done!
What: The work will entail removal of vegetation overgrowth, moving slash/trees along the trail corridor to keep the trail from widening, and redefining sections of trail that have seen sediment deposition from storms.
The work will be moderately strenuous and will include the use of hand tools such as McLeods, pick mattocks, rakes, and shovels. (However, you can do as much hard work or as little as you like!)
When: Saturday, October 9
Meeting time: 8:00am Project End time: 12:00 pm
Where: We will provide more detailed location information as we approach the date
