Browns Creek Alliance, a Chaffee Recreation Adopters group, is hosting a clean-up day on Monday, May 16 at 9 a.m. at the popular Browns Creek/Raspberry Gulch dispersed camping and recreation area west of Nathrop, at the base of Mount Antero.
The event will focus on about 200 dispersed campsites, where surveys completed last year show an estimated 150 gallons of trash and excessive campfire rings.
Volunteers should bring shovels, buckets and wheelbarrows. Trash bags are provided. Volunteers will meet at 9 am at the intersection of CR 272 and 274.
As a Chaffee Recreation Adopters group, Browns Creek Alliance is comprised of volunteers interested in stewarding and improving national forest lands for the benefit of all users.
Chaffee Recreation Adopters’ mission is to help the community care for all recreation lands in the county. Program participants use a mobile app to assess campsites, report problem areas to land management agencies and take action such as trash pick-up. Adopters also provide more presence in the county’s popular recreation areas.
