Peaks to Plains Trail
Participant Opportunities
Volunteers will meet here: https://goo.gl/maps/fsWQyEj9whmRBBkH9 Volunteers are encouraged to use alternative transportation to attend the project. Participants will be working along a 19.5 mile stretch of the Peaks to Plains Trail along Clear Creek along with other tributaries. Past efforts have resulted in the collection of 38,870 pounds of trash. Mismanaged trash that escapes into waterways can create a wide range of problems. Aquatic trash affects water quality, endangers plants and animals, and pollutes the outdoor spaces that we depend on for tourism and recreation. Volunteers will be removing debris along Clear Creek as well as restoring sensitive habitat by spreading native seed. Be sure to join us for our post project celebration at Anderson Park in Wheat Ridge https://goo.gl/maps/jiBb3GGEig5uxu5u9. Volunteers will be treated to live music, free food from a handful of food trucks and beer for individuals 21 years of age and older. Volunteers arriving on foot or bike will receive an extra raffle ticket for a chance to win an amazing prize.
