Volunteers will park in the Triceratops Trailhead parking area within Colorado School of Mines Lot A off of 19th Street. Volunteers are encouraged to use alternative transportation to attend the project. The 6th Avenue Trail is an important area connecting southwest Golden and the Colorado School of Mines campus area to the Clear Creek corridor. Volunteers will be helping with a reseeding project on the West 6th Avenue Overpass Park (19th Street overpass over Hwy 6) as well as a trail cleanup along the 6th Avenue Trail from the School of Mines campus north towards the Clear Creek corridor and south towards the Jefferson County Government Center. This is part of an effort to work along a 19.5 mile stretch along the Clear Creek along with other tributaries. Past efforts have resulted in the collection of 42,000 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. Be sure to join us for our post project celebration at Clear Creek Valley Park in Arvada https://maps.app.goo.gl/nxTEzyp9FUVi4MWp8. 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 amazing prizes.
