First Creek Improvements Community Volunteer Day

Help us improve First Creek, a natural stream on the Refuge that serves as a riparian wildlife corridor for many of our species (including bald eagles!). We will aid ongoing restoration efforts by removing invasives plant species, potentially planting shrubs/trees, and distributing native seeds.

Please meet at 9 AM in the Visitor Center Lobby to fill out forms. At 9:15 AM we will depart by car to our project site. If arriving after 9:15 AM, please call the Information Desk at 303-289-0232 for up-to-date information on where to go.

No prior experience is necessary, instruction and all tools will be provided. Materials to bring are closed-toed shoes, long pants, a refillable water bottles, gloves if you have your own, protection against the sun, and light jacket. 15 pair of loaner gloves will be available on a first come basis. 

Children under 18 MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian. This activity is recommended for 8 years and older. Please note that we use volunteer.gov as a sign-up, so you are registered once you submit the application!
