Help heal the land! Join us for a day of tree planting in the Cameron Peak burn area.
Join the Coalition for the Poudre River Watershed (CPRW) and Volunteer for Outdoor Colorado (VOC) for a day of tree planting. In the wake of the historic Cameron Peak Fire of 2020, which burned over 208,000 acres, CPRW has been working with private landowners to restore land by planting native ponderosa pine seedlings. Connect with the land, get your hands dirty, and help heal the watershed!
