Restoration Work on the S. Ark

July 26 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Immediate Restoration Work Opportunity on the City of Salida’s South Arkansas River Property

The Upper Arkansas Watershed Partnership is working with the City of Salida for restoration work on the South Arkansas River that runs through the City’s South Ark property.

As the City of Salida continues to plan the South Arkansas neighborhood and the Vandaveer regional park, some immediate management must be completed to ensure the health of the land and safety of those that use it. After discussion with local land management agencies, the Salida City Council has asked staff to plant willows in critically eroded areas along the South Arkansas River and we need volunteers to help do this while the timing is ideal. The goal of this volunteer workday is to revegetate a 250 ft length of S. Arkansas River Bank with live willow stakes and/or willow wattles. Volunteers will cut, transfer and plant willow stakes to stabilize a section of bank undergoing some erosion due to natural and human impact.
 
When: Friday, July 26; 9 am – 12 pm
 
What to bring: 
Plant clippers/nippers for cutting willow stakes. 
Dress in layers, hat, sunscreen and drinking water.
 
Meeting location: 
Parking lot for S. Ark neighborhood off of CR 104.  Link to the meeting location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/md4HzQH7ybYQDeFcA
