BACKGROUND: Situated close to Flying J Ranch Park was the migration route known as the Ute Trail, which was used by Native Americans for centuries. Toll roads were later built nearby as early Euro-American prospectors and homesteaders needed a passageway through the foothills. Healthy meadows, forests and wetlands provide habitat for songbirds, raptors and wintering elk

Volunteers are needed to sort and peel logs, which will be used for fencing in our parks. The fencing will protect sensitive habitat.
