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

This morning project is for high school students only (14-18 years old). Join us 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 The Mesa Trail runs from the Chautauqua Meadow in central Boulder south to Eldorado Springs, a total of 13 miles. It is a beautiful, popular and heavily trafficked trail. Volunteers will be restoring tread, cleaning drainage structures, and/or brushing (cutting plants back that are leaning into the trail). We will be working in the Shanahan Ridge area in south Boulder. Details (i.e. where to meet) will be sent via email 2-3 days prior to the event. PROJECT DIFFICULTY - MODERATE Volunteers should be comfortable hiking 4 miles with a backpack holding water, snacks, and gear. We will be using tools such as loppers, pick mattocks, and buckets.
