Beavers are important engineers of watershed health in Colorado. Once decimated, their population is now rebounding and they need your help! Through our Middle Thompson Creek BDA project, we will improve the vitality of the riparian area and increase the habitat potential for beavers and important wetland species.

Los castores son importantes ingenieros que mantienen la salud de las cuencas hidrográficas en Colorado. Después de estar al borde de la extinción, hoy  su población se está recuperando, ¡pero aún necesita tu ayuda!  Durante nuestro proyecto de “dique artificial inspirado en castores” (BDA por su sigla en inglés) en Four Mile Park, trabajaremos en vitalizar la ribera del río para aumentar el hábitat potencial para castores y otras  especies de humedal.

Nearest Town: Glenwood Springs, CO

Like many of the trails within the Glenwood Canyon, the Jess Weaver trail was heavily damaged by the Grizzly Creek wildfire in 2020 and the subsequent flooding during the summer of 2021. For the first time since 2021, RFOV volunteers will return to the Jess Weaver Trail for a Community Project in partnership with the USFS, National Forest Foundation and Contour Logic.

Como muchos de los senderos dentro del Cañón de Glenwood, el sendero Jess Weaver fue gravemente dañado por el incendio forestal de Grizzly Creek en 2020 y las inundaciones posteriores durante el verano de 2021. Por primera vez desde 2021, los voluntarios de RFOV regresarán a Jess Weaver Trail para un proyecto comunitario en asociación con la USFS, la National Forest Foundation y Contour Logic.

Nearest Town: Carbondale, CO

With support from Roaring Fork Outdoor Coalition and in partnership with the Town of Carbondale, RFOV is excited to offer a special pop-up project along the Crystal River — and this one's for our plant enthusiasts.

The Town of Carbondale has built fenced test plots at Riverfront Park to study riparian plant management, and they're propagating desired native species right alongside invasives that need to go. That means this project calls for volunteers with some plant ID background who can tell the difference and remove with precision. Spend a beautiful September evening along the river, put your plant ID skills to real use, and help protect the native species this habitat depends on.

Filoha Meadows is home to the stream orchid, but these rare plants are being threatened by invasive Canada thistle and oxeye daisy. You can take this opportunity to see an open space otherwise closed to the public, help us control an invasive species, and protect a beautiful rare orchid!

Filoha Meadows es el hogar de la Orquídea de Arroyo, una planta rara que está siendo amenazada por especies invasoras como el  Cardo Cundidor y la Margarita no nativa. Ayudarnos a controlar las especies invasoras y a proteger esta rara y hermosa orquídea. Esta también es una oportunidad única para visitar un espacio natural que normalmente está cerrado al público.
