With two restoration sites actively maintained, join HandsOn and Canyonlands in keeping the sites clean to better help the landscape and wildlife. Home to milkweed and other native plants, Olivia Canyon is a popular trail that is frequently used. Canyonlands wants to make sure the trails are clear and that the native plants are safe from potential fire. Your work will also assure that the plants present in the canyon will continue to thrive and be resilient in the face of the ever-present danger of climate change. Volunteers will be removing brush and invasive plants.
