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 Mesa Trail Maintenance -- This project will involve repairs and yearly maintenance on the legacy Mesa Trail in Boulder. We will be working to repair water features like water bars and ditches, as well as closing social trails and trail braiding. You don't need any trail experience for this project - we'll provide all training and instruction during the project. Details about the project and where to meet will be emailed to you a few days before the project. PROJECT DIFFICULTY - MODERATE Volunteers should be comfortable hiking 5 miles with a backpack holding water, snacks, and gear. Volunteers should be prepared for trail work throughout the morning in potentially hot weather. We will be using tools such as loppers, pick mattocks, shovels, and buckets.
