One-Day Volunteer Project - Youth - High School Youth (14-18)

WE STILL HAVE SPACE! JOIN US! This morning project is for high school students only (14-18 years old). Join OSMP and Wildlands Restoration Volunteers (WRV) for a safe, fun, and meaningful opportunity to get outside, make a difference, and meet new people. We are following CDC/WHO guidelines and state of Colorado standards to minimize the spread of COVID-19. PROJECT Prairie Vista Trail is a beautiful trail that cuts across actively grazed land to join the foothills just south of Boulder. However, a combination of stubborn routine-loving cattle and (possibly) stubborn humans has widened the original trail. Volunteers will be thinking creatively to guide human and cattle users alike to the proper trail by setting rocks and repairing trail tread (the walking surface). PROJECT DIFFICULTY - EASY/MODERATE Volunteers should be comfortable hiking a 1/2 mile with a backpack holding water, snacks, and gear. Volunteers should be prepared for trail work throughout the morning in hot weather with very little shade. Project will involve hiking over uneven terrain, bending, lifting, and using hand tools. PREPARATION FOR THE DAY **THREE quarts of water or camel packs** **Snacks & LUNCH for the day** **Work gloves** **Face Covering** **Sunglasses or other eye protection ** --Sturdy boots (No lightweight shoes, or “five-finger” types of shoes.) --Long pants --HAT and SUNSCREEN (very sunny, with little shade!) --Rain jacket --A short or long sleeved T-shirt --Personal first aid kit, if you have one --Backpack to carry personal items --Clothing appropriate for weather conditions IMPORTANT!! ** Due to COVID-19, we will minimize surface contact during this project and WILL NOT provide personal protective gear (PPE), including face coverings, extra water or food for this event. You must bring your own. If you have questions or need support getting these items, please contact Natasha at [email protected] / 303-345-8508. Thank you!
