Help us in the process of getting the property once known as the Blue Mountain property ready to open to the public! Canyon Edge Open Space, once a privately owned ranch, had a LOT of very sturdy fencing that needs to be removed for the safety of wildlife and the future enjoyment of the public. This is a special project, where a group of volunteers will get to access the property before it is open to the public in order to help us remove the fence. Volunteers will remove barbed wire and sheep fence from posts, roll up the wire, remove posts from the ground, & stack materials in a designated area for staff to retrieve later. All metal collected will be recycled. Volunteers must be 16 or older. Volunteers must be able to walk ~0.5 mile on uneven surfaces to reach the start of the fence line. Volunteers will be using fence pliers & t-post pullers; will need to be able to bend, squat, stoop, & squeeze. Moderate/difficult physical level. Volunteers will be working in tall grass with the possibility of ticks and snakes. We recommend long pants & insect repellant. There are no restrooms at this site. THIS EVENT MAY END EARLY DUE TO HEAT. Volunteers will need to bring: Sun protection (sunglasses, hat, sunscreen) - little to no shade at project site Work gloves (some will be provided) Wear closed-toe shoes & long pants - will be working in tall grass WATER & re-fillable water bottle Insect repellant Snacks Clothing appropriate for the weather Backpack (to carry it all) Hand sanitizer (optional)

General Info
As a self-taught photographer, I’ve found that photography changes the way I see and interact with the world around me. I experience the world in a much more intimate way when I am creating a composition in my viewfinder. In those moments distractions disappear, my mind focuses and I am fully present. It is just me and my camera capturing a moment in time that might otherwise go unnoticed.
