This is one of three fun, family-friendly events in June, July, and September! Ages 8+. Beavers provide important ecosystem services in our floodplains. They can be a big help creating and restoring wetlands. Sometimes though, we want to plant native trees to enhance and restore our urban floodplains but protect them from beavers so they can grow to provide a shaded creek corridor for fish and insects or stabilize a bank with their roots. Come help us apply special beaver protection paint to establishing native trees. Remember to wear old clothes because the paint does not wash out.

This is a joint project hosted on City of Longmont Open Space, facilitated by Wildlands Restoration Volunteers (WRV), and supported by a Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) cooperative volunteer grant. Register for this project, created especially for Longmont volunteers, on WRV’s website.
