On Saturday, July 18th, the Wet Meadows Program staff hosted the 6th annual Sportsperson Volunteer Day at Centennial State Wildlife Area in partnership with Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, CO Parks & Wildlife, and PACT Outdoors. With volunteers coming from as far as Montrose and Denver to help, the crews were able to build a total of 15 low-tech process-based restoration structures in just one morning!
A huge thank you to local business, PACT Outdoors, for sponsoring the lunch and helping us build!
If you are interested in volunteering at the next Wet Meadows build day, email aaulenbach@UGRWCD.org
