Join BHA Chapter Leader Leslie Kaminski and Alex Miller of San Juan Mountains Association for a fire ring dispersal project. Come prepared to do some work in the Uncompahgre National Forest and get to know fellow conservation minded folks, members, partners, and chapter leaders from Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and San Juan Mountains Association!
We hope to rally our conservation minded community to join us for an all day project Friday, June 23rd from 8am to 4pm to remove fire rings identified by the forest service along the West Fork of the Cimarron. Children are welcome to participate in this event with the supervision of a parent/guardian. All participants will be asked to sign a BHA liability waiver prior to participating.
RSVP's are required no later than Friday, June 16!
What to Expect: Volunteers will decommission unapproved fire ring sites by removing rocks, trash, and debris during a full work day Friday.
Meals: Please bring your own meals including water and snacks for the whole day.
What to bring for the work day: Leather gloves, safety glasses (sunglasses are fine). Plenty of water and food for yourself, sunscreen, bug spray, and proper clothing for working outside (jeans, boots, long-sleeve shirt, rain gear, and layers). A wheelbarrow, shovel, or hard rake could be handy if you have one to bring.
Basecamp Location: 38.143246, -107.557625 near Wetterhorn Trailhead
Directions from 550: Turn onto county road 10. Follow for ~17 miles until you reach the intersection for west fork, turn right onto west fork rd (FS Rd 860A, Country Rd H1). Follow west fork rd for just over .5 miles. Several dispersed sites along the river will appear in an opening on the left, that's where we'll meet and start. Meeting location is ~2.5 miles closer than Wetterhorn Trailhead. DO NOT DRIVE PAST RIVER DISPERSED SITES--the road is snowed in about 200 yards past.
