Community Volunteer Day | National Public Lands Day-Restoration Project
What
Help us end the season with some good vibes and join Bogus Basin’s Stewardship Team and our partners at the Boise National Forest for a planting project to kick off our Public Lands Day Celebration! Using seedlings grown from seeds collected on our mountain, we will be planting native grasses and wildflowers on disturbed soils near the new coach run helping us to decrease erosion, increase the resiliency of our landscape, and sequester carbon. Absolutely no experience is necessary and we encourage you to bring the whole family (children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). Be sure to have water, sunscreen, closed-toe shoes, and gloves (we have extra gloves if you need some). Planting tools will be provided, but feel free to bring your own. Afterwards, stick around for the National Public Lands Day Party which will feature informational booths from land management agencies and conservation non-profits, raffle prizes, fun nature-based activities, and free guided nature hikes in addition to our regular food, beverage, and mountain activities. Volunteers will receive a FREE t-shirt and Fee-Free Coupon courtesy of our friends at the Bureau of Land Management. The Fee-Free Coupon can be redeemed at select public land sites including National Parks.
