Join Can’d Aid, Trout Unlimited, Boulder County Open Space and the Left Hand Watershed Center in an effort to document vegetation adjacent to the Calwood burn site.

 
We will begin our 13 mile (roughly) roundtrip trek from Picture Rock at 9am and we will be documenting vegetation using a smartphone app called iNaturalist. Volunteers will take photos and identify plants observed. Data will contribute to a growing database that will allow a better understanding of how our lands change and rebound after a fire. We’ll also be discussing current conditions of our forests, impacts of fire suppression, components of forest health, and what we can do to restore forests in our area. No experience necessary.
 
REGISTRATION REQUIRED!
 
This is going to be a strenuous hike along rugged terrain. Sturdy hiking shoes, water, sun protection, and snacks will be a must. Please consider trail conditions prior to registering!
