Salida Chamber Calendar

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. If you have already signed the waiver at another event or as a Rec Adopter, you don't need to sign again) About the Chaffee Rec Adopters:  Chaffee Rec Adopters are residents and friends of Chaffee County that help keep our beautiful outdoors clean, fun and wild, now into the future.
