Join us for "Zen and the Art of Willow Harvesting", a new way of looking at an old WRV tradition! Office work got you down? Want to see the dew on the branches and the meadowlarks afield? Willow harvesting is the perfect activity to turn your mind off, and your zen on. Little thought is required and so like meditation, you will find your mind rested and ready to return to whatever it is that you do. We will spend shorter days travelling to locations where willows are abundant; harvesting, trimming and bundling willow stakes to be used on revegetation areas in flood denuded watersheds.

Mission Statement
"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!
OUR GOALS- Create a strong network of volunteers capable of caring for these sites through trainings, educational opportunities, and partnerships with other local organizations.
- Encourage community-based involvement in projects by recruiting volunteers who live in communities near project sites and/or are members of user groups who frequent those sites.
- Develop and implement high quality, scientific restoration techniques. We aim to contribute to scientific field of ecological restoration.
- Collaborate closely with land managers and other stakeholders to identify key sites in need of ecological restoration.
- Serve a diverse audience including urban and rural residents, adults, middle and high school students, disadvantaged youth, local watershed protection groups, local outdoor clubs, and other recreational users of local public lands.
- Have fun, work hard, and celebrate the deep love of mountains, forests, streams, and open spaces, which motivates our work.
