Chaffee County Mentors Group Activity
Sponsored by Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area
Free CCM tee shirts & Free Lunch will be provided for our mentors & mentees who join in this activity!
Chaffee County Mentors will spend a fun morning Cleaning Up and Greening Up our great outdoors. We will start on the Chaffee County Mentors adopted trail near Frantz Lake, picking up trash and improving the trail. This year, we’re excited to have the Southwest Conservation Corps joining us to provide guidance and tools for our trail maintenance work. After nurturing the environment, we’ll celebrate our good work with a BBQ lunch together at Salida Steamplant Riverside Patio (NOT Riverside Park as we listed in our newsletter).
MENTORS: We are looking for some special supplies for our trail work. Please call if you’re able to bring any of these: pick-up truck, weed wacker, wheelbarrow, handsaw, pruning tools.
Buena Vista Bus will depart APE: 9:00 AM – return APE: 1:45 PM
Salida – Please meet at Frantz Lake at 9:30 PM
(Frantz Lakes are located along the Arkansas on either side of CR 291 just west of Salida near the new hospital)
