Where You'll Be:
The Buf falo Creek area is an approximately 90-minute drive Southwest of Denver, in the Pike and San Isabel National Forests. With plenty of U.S. Forest Servi ce designated campgrounds and 50 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian tr ails - many of which tie in to the Colorado Trail - this area is a popular destination for urban-dwellers seeking to escape the city while avoiding I- 70 traffic.

What You'll Do:
Join us for Nation al Public Lands Day as we help care for Colorado's forests! This project fo r volunteers ages 18+ will consist of two types of volunteers: chainsaw-cer tified volunteers to cut dead and dying trees, and volunteers to help clear debris from felled trees and move it to an area where our Forest Service p artners will later collect it. In doing so, you will help promote a healthy forest ecosystem by mitigating threats of disease and wildfires.

Cam ping is available Friday and Saturday night; VOC's volunteer Crew Chefs wil l provide breakfast on Saturday and Sunday as well as dinner on Saturday ni ght.

*Only certified sawyers will be allowed to operate the chainsaws . If you are certified, please register and send your certificate to Kelly Clouse at This email addre ss is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
