Service Project Details
We’re excited to partner again for a second year and learn about the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in Colorado. We’ll spend the week closing down and naturalizing social trails and brushing within the Sand Canyon Trails System. Work may also involve replacing signage, cairn rebuilding, rehabilitating trail corridors, etc. 4WD vehicles are recommended to travel to and from basecamp.
