Habitat Restoration Planting for Pollinators  - Cottonwood Run Natural Area (1643 W 1st St @ Taft)

Thursday, 11 September 2025 @ 08:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Volunteer Opportunity  -  Mixed Ages

Volunteers will be helping to plant hundreds of seedlings for a habitat restoration project. Native seedling wildflowers and grasses are being grown out at a local nursery with grant funding from NRCS (Natural Resource Conservation Service). Native species that were seeded and planted previously are thriving and this planting project will continue the effort to restore and improve the native shortgrass prairie habitat of Cottonwood Run Natural Area, benefiting pollinators and wildlife along the Big Thompson River corridor. Please dress for the weather (long pants recommended), wear sturdy closed-toe shoes and bring sun protection (hat, sunscreen, layers). The project area is off-trail in a grassy field. Bring water, bug spray if desired, and your favorite work gloves. All tools and materials will be provided, and we'll have extra gloves available. NOTE: Access Cottonwood Run via the driveway at 1643 W 1st St. where staff will direct you to parking (google maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/abjd5ueC1ppaahxF8) Or walk/bike in from the Recreation Trail. All ages are welcome. Registration requested, in case of changes due to weather or other conditions. Registered participants will be notified of any changes via email prior to the project. Keep an eye on your email for possible updates.
