Welcome to the 15th annual ReTree planting event, and the sixth year of the Yampa River Forest Restoration Program! This year’s community planting will be comprised of three days, the first taking place on September 21.
Over the past 15 years, we have planted over 24,000 trees in the Yampa Valley, increasing shade along the river to reduce water temperatures, improve riparian habitat and take carbon out of the atmosphere. On September 21, we will be planting approximately 120 trees along the Elk River on the Lamb property off of County Road 44.
All are welcome to participate in this heartwarming, family-friendly event. Participants will receive a ReTree T-shirt custom-designed by local artist Jill Bergman, along with free snacks.

There are also dates available September 28 and October 12.
We are so grateful for the time that you are volunteering to help us achieve this important work. If you would like to continue supporting YVSC, we hope you’ll consider a gift. With your help, we can advance reducing emissions and increasing resilience to achieve the climate future that we all need. You can donate here.
