Volunteers Needed for Workdays
Fountain Creek Restoration Committee Work Day/Celebration
Join RMFI, Trout Unlimited, and the Fountain Creek Restoration Committee for a Work Day/Celebration in honor of Colorado Water 2012. This event will serve to recognize the incredible work that has been completed on Fountain Creek over the years. RMFI, in partnership with the FCRC and TU, has improved fish habitat and opened up further opportunities for recreation along the stream. Work has been completed along the stream corridor at Soda Springs, Memorial, Shryver, and Fields Parks in Manitou Springs, and it’s time to give the success of the project the attention it deserves.
Participants should expect the following schedule:
8:45 – 9:00: Meet @ Memorial Park
9:00 – 9:30: Orientation, divide into work groups
9:30 – Noon: Work tasks (trash pick-up, in-stream work, restoration patch-up)
Noon – 1:00: Lunch provided by Trout Unlimited-Cheyenne Mountain Chapter
1:00 – 2:30: River Walk led by Fountain Creek Restoration Committee member
1:00 – 2:30: Resume work tasks for those not going on river walk

Celebrate the Forest
On Saturday, June 2nd, from 10:00am – 2:00pm, the Woodland Park Healthy Forest Initiative is hosting “Celebrate the Forest” — part of the Hayman 10th Anniversary recognition. Outdoor activities and natural resources provided by our forests will be celebrated. There will be a variety of educational and forest related fun. Let’s celebrate a fresh look and new information about the forest, and encourage people to get out and enjoy what is in their own backyard.
If you are interested in promoting CMCTU’s mission at this event, please respond to Terry Deaton or complete the sign-up form below so we will have an accurate head count in advance.
If you have any questions about either of these opportunities, contact Terry by phone at 719-322-4494.
