It’s that time of year again, our Earth Day celebration annual 3 Days 3 Parks event where we team up with Friends of Ute Valley and Friends of Peregrine for three days of work in all three of our great parks.

We will be at Blodgett Open Space with Friends of Peregrine on Friday April 23rd to help with dog waste and trash cleanup, noxious weed removal, and corridor clearing along the trail network. Work starts at 8:00 am and goes to 11:00 am.

We will be at Palmer Park on Saturday April 24th to do some rogue trail closures on Yucca Flats that will include scarifying, seeding, and reclaiming areas impacted by short-cutting and off-trail use. Work starts at 9:00 am and goes to 12:30 pm.

We will be at Ute Valley Park to wrap things up on Sunday April 25th to help with trash pickup, noxious weed removal, and restoration of social trails and impacted areas in Vindicator Meadow. Work starts at 9:00 am and goes to 12:00 pm.

Check out everything and signup to volunteer at our slick website created by members of Ute Valley Park: https://3days3parks.org/

Signup for one, two, or all three days. The more people we get at each park, the more good we can do! As always, please prepare and dress for the weather and activity. This includes wearing long pants, wearing closed-toed shoes, having work gloves, and bringing water.

Let’s get out there and kickoff the warm outdoor season with some awesome work in these three great parks! See you then!
