Enjoy the summer sounds and sights at this beautiful mountain location. The Brainard Lake Recreation Area is one of the most popular wilderness access points in the United States, receiving over 130,000 visitors per year. To reduce impacts on the Wilderness, the US Forest Service created the new Brainard Gateway Trailhead and asked WRV to help improve the trail corridor from there to the wilderness trailheads three miles away.
This event is part 2 of a project that began in the spring of 2015. Volunteers will have the opportunity to finish sections of rock work, boardwalk, and plenty of basic trail construction for beginners new to trail construction.
*If you like to cook and would be interested in working on our cook team for this project, we need you! Please email taylor@wlrv.org.*
Volunteers will be working at an elevation of about 10,000 feet and camping (optional) nearby at a beautiful forested site normally closed to the public. We urge you to arrive on Friday night in order to acclimate and set up your tent.

"To foster a community spirit of shared responsibility for the ecological stewardship and restoration of public and protected lands."
Description
WRV organizes about 110 projects per year, completing a wide variety of important habitat restoration and conservation work in around the Northern Colorado Front Range. Projects can be a single day, but some may last a weekend or longer with camping in spectacular mountain settings. Attendance averages 60 volunteers, but ranges from 10 to over 100. Tasty meals are usually provided, and no experience is necessary!
