Mike O'Brien Memorial Project: Pennsylvania Mountain Trail Construction

Currently, recreationists from Alma, as well as the surrounding area, can only access the Pennsylvania Mountain Natural Area from MALT's private property. On this project, volunteers will help build a loop trail that will provide recreation and science research opportunities as well as future access to this pristine location. The trail will provide new recreation opportunities in the area as well as access to conduct scientific research.

While adults and youth ages 12 and up are volunteering at The Pennsylvania Mountain Natural Area, young kids can partake in a spectacular (and free!) educational program at BPEEC that will include fun environmental activities alongside a caring and professional staff. On both Saturday and Sunday, as volunteers are shuttled from the camp site to the project location, kids will be dropped off at BPEEC along the way. At the end of the work day, kids will be picked up and spend the evening eating dinner and camping with their families. Be sure to check out voc.org/badge to learn about ways that you and your family can care for Colorado prior to the project! By doing so, kids will awarded a cool VOC patch that they can proudly affix to their backpack, jacket, etc.
Free meals and camping will be provided. Sign up here: http://www.voc.org/project/mike-obrien-memorial-project-pennsylvania-mou...
