When the Lawn Lake dam breached over 25 years ago, the wetlands at the confluence of the Roaring and Fall Rivers were heavily damaged. Park staff have coordinated several phases of its restoration and volunteers have been instrumental in every aspect Volunteers are again needed, from issuing equipment to getting down and dirty planting vegetation; there will be something for everyone.

The project will begin at 8:30 a.m., May 1, with a safety message outside the Rocky Mountain National Park greenhouse. Once equipment is issued, volunteers will travel to the Alluvial Fan area; carpooling will be encouraged. Park staff will be present for training, instructions and general support.

All volunteers are encouraged to bring a brown bag lunch and picnic at the Horseshoe Park Picnic Area following the project. Park staff will provide drinks and dessert.

To register or for more information contact the Volunteer Program Coordinator at 970-586-1330.
