DAYS
Join BHA and Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation in the beautiful Upper Colorado River region near the Pumphouse Recreation Area in removing sheep-wire fencing impacting big game movement. We will be camping on public land Friday & Saturday night, working all day Saturday, and celebrating our efforts with a wild game potluck (bonus points for wild game dishes). This is a great opportunity to meet fellow public land owners from around the state while doing a little conservation work.
Event Schedule:

- Arrive anytime Friday at the Pumphouse Recreation Area. There will be signs directing folks to the campsite. You will be on your own for dinner. BHA will provide beer and soft drinks at the campfire.
