This opportunity is for all ages (ages 15 & under must be accompanied by an adult) with weekly restoration sessions, April through December, to connect with Aurora's nature and care for natural habitats. Please see the calendar to determine if the session task works with youth.
During the restoration sessions volunteers will be removing non-native invasive plant species, seeding and planting native prairie plants, monitoring wildlife, collecting data as part of a research experiment, engaging in land based cultural practices, and more. No experience needed!
Check out the Prairie Restoration handbook for more information on the project.
The prairie restoration project was awarded the Blue Grama Award from the Colorado Open Space Alliance for Outstanding Achievement in Ecological Restoration or Recreation Management and the Colorado Parks and Recreation Columbine award for programming.
