2010 schedule coming soon

2009 Project Season

Join dozens of Bluff Lake volunteers throughout the season as they work to improve wildlife habitat, accessibility, and the beauty of our special Nature Center. Each of our projects has a unique focus, and volunteers will be certain to find a project that suits their interest. The projects will include breakfast and lunch, and provide the perfect opportunity to work alongside other individuals who are passionate about conservation in Colorado. To register for any of our volunteer opportunities, visit the Volunteer Outdoors web site (http://www.volunteeroutdoors.net/). When you register, please make an effort to attend, as we rely upon the commitment of our volunteers to complete the restoration work. For more information about our 2009 projects, or other restoration opportunities, please contact Chris Story by email.
