| FOBOS Members Join WRV for Social Trail Restoration | ||||||
| There are several hundred miles of trails on city open space not developed
by OSMP and not maintained as part of the designated trail system. Some
of these “social” trails are being closed and the land restored as part
of the trail study area process.
On Saturday, April 19th FOBOS’ members spent the day helping to restore undesignated trails that had developed in the Doudy Draw area. One of the trails went through sensitive riparian lands immediately adjacent to Spring Brook. The other went up a steep hillside above Lindsay Pond. The process involved roughing the surface of dirt, sprinkling seeds of native grasses and plants, and covering the seeded dirt with dead grasses raked from adjacent lands. Fences were built to discourage travel into the areas, and signs were posted explaining what had been done. The project was organized by Wildlands Restoration Volunteers. This remarkable nonprofit organizes volunteers to participate in land and water restoration activities in Boulder County and beyond. |
