Leave a reply

CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER!
We will probably try and re-schedule this next Tuesday – stay tuned.

FOMP would like to let you know that we will be hosting an unscheduled Trail Work session Tuesday night May 24!

Tuesday May 24 at 6:00 PM – Trail work!

Sometimes we get the bug to really get rolling and that is the case this year. So, tomorrow evening we will be holding an unscheduled Trail Work session.

Since it is unscheduled we will also change our meeting place. We will be working on the upper portion of the trail that descends from Mt. Herman Rd. to Monument Rock / the pond. Please park at or near Mt. Herman Rd. and Red Rocks Dr (map:  http://bit.ly/mvaP43) and walk up to the trail entrance off of Mt. herman Rd.  then down onto the trail and join us. Please grab tools from the green Toyota Tundra that will be parked at the top of the trail and come on down and meet us – since this is an impromptu session we won’t be waiting around for the group. We will be just down the trail about 20 yards to the North from the road.

FOMP and USFS provide all necessary tools. Volunteers should wear appropriate clothing for performing outdoor landscaping type of work. Volunteers should bring leather gloves, a personal water supply, eye protection, sunscreen, and bug repellent. We meet rain or shine unless there is lightning active in the area. In the event that you are joining us late we always leave a note at the trail head parking lot or you can call Chris Tirpak (719.439.8865) if you have questions.

Thanks and we hope to see you out there soon!

FOMP would like to remind you that we will be hosting a Trail Work session Tuesday night May 10!

Tuesday May 10 at 6:00 PM – Trail work!

FOMP is pleased to be holding our first volunteer trail work and tree trimming work session for the 2011 season! It has been a long dry winter and we have lots of work ahead of us this summer so please join us!

FOMP and USFS provide all necessary tools. Volunteers should wear appropriate clothing for performing outdoor landscaping type of work. Volunteers should bring leather gloves, a personal water supply, eye protection, sunscreen, and bug repellent. We meet rain or shine unless there is lightning active in the area. In the event that you are joining us late we always leave a note at the trail head parking lot or you can call Jon Nordby (719.640.1347) or Chris Tirpak (719.439.8865) to find out where in the Preserve we are working that evening.
We make every effort to accommodate volunteer preferences and abilities at each event. Generally we perform activities such as water bar building or renovation, trail renovation, maintenance, and trimming, etc. So, pretty much everything from trimming back scrub oak or digging lots of dirt to moving boulders. We assign duties based on interest and capabilities. Kids are welcome to join their parents; however, we do ask that you evaluate whether this is an appropriate activity for your child or not.

Meet at the main trailhead parking lot at 6:00PM! (map: http://bit.ly/FOMPMeetingSpot)

Thanks and we hope to see you out there soon!
