Volunteer Litter Cleanup - Mixed Ages

Join us in keeping our natural spaces beautiful, sustainable, and litter free! Celebrate Earth Day with us by picking up and packing out litter. Meet at the Upper Sunrise Day Use Area on the east shore of Horsetooth Reservoir (approximate address is 471 N. County Rd. 23). Sign-In will begin around 8:30am with a start time of 9am. Volunteers will be given an important safety talk before handing out supplies and heading out to nearby trails and other day use areas along the reservoir to remove unsightly litter from the land. Carpooling is encouraged! A shuttle from town will meet at Spring Canyon Park for those without their own transportation. Please reach out to AJ Chlebnik with any questions or to reserve a space on the shuttle from Spring Canyon at (970) 224-6118 or [email protected]. This activity is suitable for all ages (youth under 16 yrs. must be accompanied by an adult). Volunteers will need to be able to walk over potentially uneven terrain, bend, stoop, and grasp. If you would like to help with a more challenging Earth Day project, you can sign up for a fence removal or trail work run by Fort Collins Natural Areas out of the same location here: https://engage.fcgov.com/ActivityRegistration/447d5bfe-52ff-4495-ad19-b19bcece30d7 Stick around after the project for lunch and a raffle drawing!
