SUMMARY:National Public Lands Day - Native Plant Reseeding Volunteer Event
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a native plant seeding project to help restore plant communities and habitat after fire!\n\n\n\n\nProject Description: \nIn honor of National Public Lands Day\, you can make a meaningful contribution to RMNP’s biodiversity while gaining experience in conservation practices! \nThe Vegetation Program at Rocky Mountain National Park restores disturbed sites throughout the park to preserve native vegetation\, protect our soils\, and prevent the spread of invasives species. We respond to areas that have been degraded by construction\, human use\, or severe natural events. Established in the 1980s and guided by a management plan\, our program focuses on using locally collected native plant materials to ensure ecological integrity. \nJoin us and be part of preserving the natural beauty of the park for future generations! \nWhat to Expect: \nVolunteers will be reseeding small fire scars created during pile burning for fuels reduction. Locations will include Deer Mountain and Lily Lake\, and work occurs in exposed conditions (full sun\, rain\, wind). Reseeding involves hiking short distances up to several miles\, scarifying soil (raking)\, hand seeding at specific rates\, and gathering and spreading on-site mulch material. \nDate: This project has 2 sessions: Sept. 25 and Sept. 28. Volunteer once or on both dates! \nTime: 9:00am – 3:00pm. Volunteers should plan to stay for the full duration of this event. \nWho: This volunteer event is open to participants ages 18 and over. \nParking/meeting location: Please meet in the outdoor plaza in front of the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center. Volunteers will be driven into the park via a shuttle. \nWork sites: Deer Mountain and Lily Lake. Sites may change depending on conditions. \nNearest bathroom: Bathrooms may be inaccessible for most of the event period. Be prepared to answer nature’s call in nature. \nWhat to bring: Layers for rapidly changing weather\, rain gear\, sun protection (sunscreen\, hat\, sunglasses)\, long sleeve shirt and long pants\, sturdy close-toed shoes\, lunch and snacks\, at least 2 liters of water per person\, gloves (if you prefer your own)\, and a day pack to hold everything. \n\n\nReady to sign up?\n\n\n \nQuestions? Please contact the park’s volunteer office at ROMO_volunteer@nps.gov or 970-586-1330.

SUMMARY:Fall Color Elk Tours
DESCRIPTION:Come along with us for golden aspens and the drama of the elk rut!\nIt’s impossible to ignore the magic of fall in the Rockies! The fall rut is a spectacular display of elk mating behavior featuring bugling\, posturing\, and herding displays by the bulls. Paired with the reds and golds of fall foliage\, you can view this extraordinary from the comfort of our 14-passenger minibus. Our knowledgeable guides will discuss elk ecology\, interpret elk behavior\, and share elk artifacts such as antlers and hides for participants to see and touch. \nThis tour is approximately 2.5 hours in length and is suitable for all ages. We will make several stops\, depending on where elk are gathering\, and participants will be able to disembark at each stop. Some stops may include a short walk over unpaved ground to maximize viewing opportunities. \nADA accessible transportation is available! Please select the ADA accessible ticket at checkout for this option. \nAll required park entrance fees and permits are included in your registration. \nWhen: Most Thursdays\, Fridays\, and Saturdays in September and early October\, departing at 3:30pm. Approximate return time is 6:00pm. Our return may be delayed by as much as 30 minutes due to traffic conditions in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. \nWhere: Meet your guide and board the bus at the Fall River Visitor Center\, 3450 Fall River Road\, Estes Park\, CO. \nQuestions? Call Rocky Mountain Conservancy at 970-586-3262 or email us at education@RMConservancy.org \n
