Chaffee County Recreation Adopters- Fourmile Creek Restoration Project
October 9-10, 26-27 – 8:30am - 2pm Join the Chaffee Rec Adopters, Envision Chaffee County and EcoMetrics on four dates in October to help restore the wetlands in Fourmile Creek! Fourmile Creek currently supports just a fraction of its habitat potential because the water is channelized into the creek bed. This project will create conditions that could bring back the wetlands that are vital for many local wildlife species - including beavers. Volunteers will be working in and around the creek. Wear long sleeves and pants as well as sturdy shoes that can get wet. Waders are a great choice for building structures in the creek on Day 2. Bring eye protection, gloves, lunch & water for the day. (GARNA has Bogs to loan out - reach out to Jessica!) The creek is accessed by a 4WD, rough road. We will meet at the County Road 375 staging area at 8:30am then carpool to the site. The plan is to be done around 2pm. RSVP below so we can communicate important updates and arrange carpooling. Sign up here! Meeting Place: CR 375 and carpool to site location Please sign this waiver: https://envisionchaffeecounty.org/rec-adopter/waiver/ (Waivers need to be signed once a year.

Guidestone’s Pumpkin Patch at the Hutchinson Ranch
Hutchinson RanchThis year’s annual Pumpkin Patch is sure to be abundant family fun! The wagon rides to the pumpkin patch, the live music, the cider and the crafts… a great time was had by all! FUN FACT: Over 1300 pumpkins were ‘picked’ at last year’s event – most of which were given away for free with each child’s ticket. Many of these were grown in Salida at Guidestone’s Community & School Farm! Guidestone would like to give a special shout out to the Hutchinson Ranch and Hutchinson Family, for their generosity in opening up their ranch to the public for this event. In partnership with Guidestone, the Pumpkin Patch is a unique opportunity for the community to get out and experience a beautiful, preserved, 7th-generation working ranch. Thanks to their vision, the entire Hutchinson Ranch has been placed in a conservation easement, protecting it as open space and agricultural land in perpetuity. Guidestone could not host the Pumpkin Patch without their support, and we are truly grateful.
