2008 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 four 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 projects, visit V Outdoors (www.voutdoors.org). 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 2008 projects, or other restoration opportunities, please contact Chris Story by email.

As the number of residents living near Bluff Lake continues to grow, so do the number of people using our trails. Volunteers will work to restore and stabilize sections of damaged trail, and create better drainage along hillsides.

As winter approaches, the days become cooler and the moisture increases. October is an excellent time to work on planting native grasses and shrubs in impacted areas. Volunteers will work in small groups to restore a large area within the Nature Center.
