Our partners at the Arkansas River Watershed Collaborative (ARWC) are all in on forest health. One of their marquee projects is the forest thinning work on Monarch pass, which used innovative techniques to clear dead and diseased trees from very steep slopes. Our tour will include a ride up the Monarch Crest tram, and a walk along the ridge crest to view the work and talk about its positive impacts on the forest. ARWC Executive Director Jonathan Paklaian will lead the tour. Space is limited and registration is required. Click here to register.
Start time shown is the start of the tour. Please arrange to be at Monarch Mountain in time for the tour. GARNA is not charging for the tour, however the cost of the tram ride is $18 per person (2024-2025 Monarch season pass holders get a 50% discount).
GARNA’s community and youth programs empower people with the skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience to connect with and care for the environment. We focus on building relationships – with ourselves, with each other, and with the land – through meaningful experiences and shared learning. By combining empowerment with connections, we help foster a deep sense of responsibility that goes beyond our programs, inspiring lifelong stewardship and active participation in protecting the ecosystems we all depend on.
Many GARNA programs require a Liability Release Form be filled out each calendar year.
Your registration is secured upon receipt of payment, as long as there space is still available in a program.
