The Oct. 12 designation of Camp Hale may refocus efforts at a restoration plan for the area.
The plan has been around since 2015, drafted by a large stakeholder group including Eagle County, the U.S. Forest Service, the National Forest Foundation and local residents. The plan contains a number of recommendations, including:
• Restoring more than 340 acres of wetlands, which were filled in when the 10th Mountain Division’s training site was built in the 1940s.
• Restoring roughly 5 miles of the Eagle River back to its original, meandering course. The river was put into a straight channel when Camp Hale was built.
• Interpretive historic signs and kiosks at several locations in the area.
