Yampa Valley Climate Crew – ReTree Site Preparation

Title: ReTree Site Preparation

Short Description: Come work with the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council to prepare for this year’s ReTree event.

Easy: Carrying heavy loads, walking through hayfields

Project Details: ReTree is an annual event run by YVSC that engages dozens of community volunteers in tree planting along the Yampa River. These cottonwoods and alders will not only sequester carbon as they grow, but they will also help shade, and thereby cool, the river. The site, which lies on the west side of the river in Rotary Park, must be prepared before volunteers show up for the ReTree event (Saturday, October 2nd). We will be ensuring a successful tree planting day by hauling equipment, digging the tree plots, and setting up fencing.
