Colorado Trout Unlimited (CTU) Work Days at Buffalo Peaks Ranch State Wildlife Area

CTU volunteer work days have been scheduled for Saturday, September 11 and Saturday,
September 18 at Buffalo Peaks Ranch State Wildlife Area. Coordinator is Terry Deaton of the
Cheyenne Mountain chapter ( , 719-322-4494).

You do NOT need to be a TU member to help!

We plan to install several hundred feet of barbed wire fencing along the north side of the stream
in order to keep the grazing lessee's cattle out of the stream and the riparian plantings from
earlier workdays. The work will be strenuous, involving digging postholes for fence corners/Hbraces,
installing those corners, pounding in T-posts, stretching wire, etc. All groups will be
meeting at the Buffalo Peaks Ranch Buildings - North side of Platte bridge on Highway 9
between Fairplay and Hartsel - at approximately 9 am each day. We expect to wrap up by
about 3 pm each day.

We need to complete the north side fencing this summer, so it is important that we have a good
crew of volunteers participating. Please consider volunteering if you are able to do so.

Volunteers should wear work boots or sturdy shoes and bring gloves, hat, sunscreen, STRONG
bug repellent, and a water bottle. CTU will provide lunch and water for refills.
If you can participate in this work day, please respond to Terry Deaton via email so we will have
an accurate head count in advance. If you have any questions about this opportunity, contact
Terry via email or phone. If you can bring appropriate fencing tools (posthole diggers,
trenching shovel, digging bar, T-post driver, fencing pliers, etc.) please contact Terry about
that as well.

We also have a need for at least one ATV to ferry fence posts down to the work area. Contact
Terry if you can bring one for either day. Please do not bring an ATV without checking first.

You so hooked me. Sorry, wish I could help.
