Volunteer for Beaver Tree Painting
Volunteer for the City of Longmont’s beaver tree painting from 9 am to noon on Wednesday, August 7. This fun, family-friendly event is for ages eight and older. Beavers can be a big help creating and restoring wetlands, but native trees that enhance our urban riparian areas need to be protected from beavers. Help us apply special beaver protection paint to establishing native trees in a local nature area. Wear old clothes because the paint doesn’t wash out. Space is limited, so please register at bit.ly/2YUMD72.

This is for residential documents only; no business documents accepted. Please also take ID and a copy of your most recent Longmont utility bill.
