Arkansas Headwaters Wilderness Partners Chapter GARNA's newest chapter is the Arkansas Headwaters Wilderness Partners. GARNA will act as financial agent for the partners, and GARNA members will serve as wilderness monitoring volunteers. Arkansas Headwaters Wilderness Partners is recruiting 10 backcountry volunteers to help with stewardship in the Upper Arkansas River Valley in its first field season this summer and fall. In partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, volunteers will conduct campsite inventories, monitor invasive plant species and air quality, survey trailhead registers, and do light trail maintenance in local wilderness areas. Volunteers need to be experienced backcountry hikers, backpackers, or horsemen; be able to read USGS topographic maps & use a compass; and be able to attend a one day training session June 28. Buffalo Peaks, Collegiate Peaks, Mount Massive, and the eastern part of the Holy Cross Wilderness Area are in the South Park, Salida, and Leadville Ranger Districts of the Pike-San Isabel National Forest and total 250,377 acres. More information is available by contacting arkheadwaters@gmail.com. |

On November 17, 2005 the Colorado Transportation Commission designated another spectacular roadway as a Colorado Scenic and Historic Byway: the Collegiate Peaks Byway. The 57-mile Collegiate Peaks Byway connects Granite, Buena Vista, Salida and Poncha Springs via US Highways 24, 285, 50 and State Highway 291. Read more about this developing program. |

Also directed by the Heritage Area Advisory Board, GARNA continues to present educational programs to the community explaining “Heritage” and Heritage Area Planning. We are moving on obtaining grant funding for a formal planning project. To have really competitive applications will require strong partner and community support, including commitments to local cash and “in-kind” contributions. Currently the Advisory Board is recommending grant applications be submitted in the Spring of 2006 when local partners may be in a position to commit to these matching funds. In the meantime, for a preview of the still-developing PowerPoint presentation, click on Chaffee County’s Heritage. |
