Why volunteer on this project?

• These trailheads and trails while in the State Wildlife Area are central to accessing the Mt Evans Wilderness.

• There are a number of noxious weed species on and near the trails.

• Coordinating this joint project will enhance FOMELC ability to secure grant funding for wilderness restoration.

• It's easy all the work begins at the trailheads.
