Celebrate Earth Day with RiversEdge West and the City of Grand Junction at a volunteer planting event on April 18, 2026 from 8 am - 12 pm!
At this event we will be planting native tree, shrub, and grass species. This will help restore riverside habitat and improve recreation for disc golfers and other visitors to Watson Island.
This is a free event, but registration/rsvp is greatly appreciated!
Please bring work gloves and a shovel if you have them. We will also provide shovels, gloves and other equipment for volunteers to borrow. Light snacks and coffee will be provided. Work will all be outside, so please bring water, proper work attire (we recommend pants, close-toed shoes, and long sleeves), and sun protection.
The event will be at Watson Island, 639 Struthers Ave, Grand Junction, CO 81501. We will meet at the parking lot here (next to the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens).
