Volunteer for the Dolores River Willow Planting project February 25-28
Help restore native vegetation along the Dolores River, south of Gateway, CO. We will harvest and plant willow trees in areas cleared of tamarisk.
- Learn how to identify, cut, transport, and plant willows.
- Spend a fun winter day with other volunteers and enjoy a box lunch courtesy of Gateway Canyons Resort.
- Experience the beauty of the Dolores River -- red rocks, riverside plant communities, and maybe even a bald eagle!
February 25 date is FULL!
Location: We'll be working on a ranch a few miles south of Gateway, along Highway 141. Meet at the Gateway Community Center, 42700 Highway 141, at 10:00 am.
Dress: Please wear winter work clothes, as this is a dirty, muddy job! Dress in layers. Wear insulated boots and gloves, and a hat.
Register: You may register for one or more days. Search “Dolores River Willow Planting” at or call (970) 244-3046.
There are some 5 of 10 slots available on Sunday, 2/26.
