Upper French Gulch Open Space Dedication

Continental Divide Land Trust invites the public to a Conservation Easement Dedication at Upper French Gulch Open Space (also known as Cobband Ebert Placer) on Saturday, July 8, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

This 173 acre property, located east of Breckenridge, is part of the larger B and B Mines open-space purchase by Summit County Government and the Town of Breckenridge.

Cobb and Ebert Placer is one of the few intact willow complexes and wetlands along a valley bottom in the entire Upper Blue Basin, and is home to native Cutthroat trout. It is a unique piece of property that reminds us of what the beautiful mountain valleys looked like before dredge boat mining decimated the riverbeds in the early part of the last century.

Join this celebration and learn about the natural resources and conservation values of the property. There will be refreshments, brief presentations, and a nature walk. FREE.

Park at the winter trailhead parking area on French Gulch Road and walk in. For directions, more information, or to RSVP, please contact Continental Divide Land Trust at info@cdlt.org or call (970) 453-3875.
