Volunteer Work Projects - Ages 13 & Older

Celebrate Halloween with Boulder County Parks & Open Space. We're hosting our final trail work volunteer event of the year at Betasso Preserve! Join us as we clear some trail drainages. Our mission for the day is to divert water off the trail by digging drains to mitigate erosion. Boulder County will provide all hand tools including pick-mattocks, McLeods, and shovels. Gloves and eye protection will also be provided. With your help we hope to reduce the amount of mud and prevent future trail damage. Costumes are encouraged — just be prepared to get whatever you're wearing covered in dirt and sweat! LOCATION & PARKING We will meet under the picnic shelter by the parking lot in the Betasso Preserve Trailhead promptly at 11:30am. A Google Maps pin can be found here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fmPRzKbuhvd2vCD67 From there, you will choose if you want to hike about a mile or a few miles to our project site. There will be no cell phone service at the parking lot and it will be very limited at the project site. A pit toilet will be available only at the trailhead. Volunteers are encouraged to use the bathroom in the woods during the project. WHAT TO BRING -Water bottle and water -Sturdy shoes/boots -Backpack (for carrying clothes/water) -Costume (optional but encouraged) -Sunscreen -Rain gear -Snacks/lunch if you haven't eaten yet There is a pit toilet only at the trailhead, so be prepared to use the woods if you need to go once the project begins.
