You could lay on the couch, drink beer, snack on chips and watch baseball games. Or you could get out to the scenic Buffalo Peaks Ranch site, invigorate yourself by planting shrubs and building temporary foot bridges in the fresh summer air, and fly fish a newly restored section of the South Platte River.
The weekend of July 26 and 27 is the much anticipated volunteer extravaganza and you should be there! Yes, there will be some manual labor, but it’s the kind of labor that is reserved for volunteers – plenty of breaks and camaraderie, interlaced with food and drink, followed by some outstanding fishing.
Work begins at 9a both days. Lunches, snacks and drinks will be provided. Port-o-let on site. We’ll provide the tools. You should bring work gloves, hat, long sleeve shirt, sunscreen and your fishing gear. If you would like to volunteer for both days, you might want to stay in one of the local hotels below:
- Western Inn, www.thewesterninn.com, 877-306-3037, rooms are $69-$79
- Hand Hotel, www.handhotel.com, 719-836-3595, rooms are $59-$95
- Riverside Inn, www.bestwesternfairplay.com, 719-836-0600, rooms are $119
- Fairplay Hotel, www.fairplayhotel.us, 877-836-2501, rates unknown
