PLACE Day at Shelf Road

January 29, 2016

shelf roadThe goal of GARNA’s Public Lands Agency Career Exploration (PLACE) program is to expose greater Arkansas River region high school students to career paths within the natural resource agencies that partner with GARNA. This includes Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the US Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Participating students spend roughly full days shadowing agency staff and are exposed to field experiences, special projects and meetings.

On January 29, students will go with staff from the BLM Royal Gorge Field Office and Pikes Peak Climbers Association to Shelf Road climbing area outside of Canon City (a BLM recreation site). Both organizations have been managing climbing impacts at this popular area. The students will work on trail restoration project that involves reclaiming a trail widened by users to avoid a boggy area. The students will learn about the interface between public lands agencies and private organizations and citizens as well as human impacts and balancing resources and uses.
