Friends of the Eagles Nest Wilderness

The Friends of the Eagles Nest Wilderness (FENW) is looking for volunteers for their S. Willow Creek trail project on Saturday, Aug. 19.

Volunteers are needed to work on the trail connecting Buffalo Mountain with the Gore Range Trail as it crosses the South Willow Creek drainage, installing bridges and other drainage measures.

Volunteers will hike in from the Ryan Gulch Trailhead about 3 miles. Interested volunteers should RSVP to Jonathan and meet Saturday morning at 8 a.m. at the Dillon Ranger District office in Silverthorne on Highway 9, just north of I-70.

FENW will supply a light breakfast of coffee and bagels and juice. Volunteers should bring work gloves, long pants, sturdy boots, raingear, sunscreen and food and water for lunch. FENW will host a tailgate party at the end of the day with beer, drinks, chips and snacks.

FENW is an apolitical nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization created in 1994 to raise money, goods, and services to help the Dillon Ranger District maintain the Eagles Nest and Ptarmigan Peak Wilderness areas. Check out FENW's new website www.fenw.org

RSVP to Jonathan at (970) 262 -2399 or rsvp@fenw.org.
