Join RiversEdge West and Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado for a volunteer event on the Dolores River from May 2-3, 2026!
Volunteers will support riverbank restoration efforts along the Dolores River through the Dolores River Restoration Partnership (DRRP). Activities will include removing invasive woody plants and herbaceous weeds, as well as assisting with a range of seeding and planting techniques to optimize site-specific re-vegetation best practices. There are 2 shift options (Saturday 8-4 and Sunday 8-12) and volunteers can sign up for 1 or both.
Enjoy breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday, with dinner on Saturday. Bring your own dinner on Friday night, and enough snacks for the weekend. Free campsites are available on Friday and Saturday nights, and volunteers are encouraged to arrive at base camp before 8 pm on Friday.
Where You’ll Be:
The project will take place in either Mesa or Montrose County along the Dolores River. All sites will be easily accessible from Highway 141 and will be located between the towns of Gateway and Naturita, Colorado. The specific location will be shared with all registered volunteers 2 weeks before the project.
