Event Details
Join us, alongside the US Forest Service, to conduct surveys on post-fire seedling regeneration at the Silver Creek Fire in Buffalo Park!
The Routt National Forest in Buffalo Park was ravaged by the Silver Creek Fire in 2018. Conifer forests are vitally important in the fight against climate change, as they both sequester carbon and store moisture in our watersheds. The US Forest Service is planning to reforest the area in spring 2024, but must first determine priority sites. To help in this effort, we will be measuring seedling regeneration and mapping future reforestation sites to determine where tree planting will be necessary. This project will occur over two days, so please sign up for whichever days work best for you!

Join us to reforest the Yampa River by planting native cottonwoods along the bank!
Come join YVSC at our first planting event of the season to reforest the Yampa River. Over the past 14 years, we have planted over 23,000 trees in the Yampa Valley. This year, we enter our fifth year of the Yampa River Forest Restoration Program, where we will be planting approximately 130 trees along the Yampa River on private property off HW 131. This project aims to increase shade along the river to reduce water temperatures, improve riparian habitat, and sequester carbon.

Event Details
School is back in session; there’s a familiar crispness in the morning air; and we at YVSC are gearing up for the 14th annual year of ReTree, which will take across two weekends this year, September 30 and October 7. Over the past 13 years, we have planted over 23,000 trees in the Yampa Valley. This year will continue the fifth year of planting for the Yampa River Forest Restoration Project in partnership with the City of Steamboat Springs. The project aims to increase shade along the river to reduce water temperatures, improve riparian habitat, and sequester carbon. During the first weekend, Saturday, September 30 volunteers will be planting approximately 200 trees along a stretch of the Yampa on County Road 22.
We look forward to convening our valued community members, partners, and sponsors for this year’s event, and we hope that you can join us for an afternoon of tree planting, which will have a positive impact for years to come. Sign up to volunteer here. Once you have registered, volunteers will receive a reminder email with the finer details closer to the event.
