Restoration Field Trips
April 26
9:00 am - 6:30 pm
Join MLC and partners on April 26 for field trip opportunities to visit restoration projects on the Mancos River! Learn about Low Tech Process Based Restoration and the benefits it can provide to river systems and flows. Practitioners and project landowners will be there to provide insight from their experiences and answer questions. Each field trip will begin and end at Boyle Park in Mancos.
Located downstream of the Mancos Valley in the Upper Mancos River Canyon – this trip requires a 2 mile round trip hike on road grade trail. The project was designed to promote drought tolerant flow conditions and ecological habitat.
Trip 2: County Road 39 – 1:00pm – 3:30pm
The site is nestled within the Mancos Valley and provides a great opportunity to view a project started by a collaboration of multiple private land owners.
Trip 3: Middle Mancos River, Road L – 4:00pm – 6:30pm
Above the confluence with the East Mancos, this project is a great opportunity to view an established project built within a historic beaver activity reach.
