Fourmile Creek Wetlands Restoration
Join us for one or both days on Sept. 27-28th in the Fourmile Travel Management Area near Buena Vista to kick off this exciting restoration project! Fourmile Creek currently supports just a fraction of its habitat potential because the water is channelized into the creek bed. This project will create conditions that could bring back the wetlands that are vital for many local wildlife species. Check out more details and sign up here.
