Magellan – the 2011 sponsor for Cache In Trash Out
– has chosen this event and only 6 other events around the
world to receive a very special Sponsorship Gift!
We have developed another volunteering opportunity with Boulder
County Parks and Open Space. We will be removing large debris
including old tires, drainage culverts, blocks of concrete,
barbwire fences and trash at Rock Creek Open Space.

Overview:
We will be working at the Rock Creek Open Space just off of Old
Dillon Road near Hwy 287. This area provides a recreational trail
corridor, habitat for animals, and great views. Due to its previous
land uses there is a great deal of trash that needs to be removed
including old tires, old mental culverts, concrete blocks, barbwire
and other metal debris. With your help the county hopes to clean up
this area to make it a safer and healthier habitat.
Schedule:
We will meet at the pullout off West Dillon road (listed
coordinates) just west of to the Rock Creek Trail Crossing between
8:45am and 9:00am. From the parking area/pullout we will walk to
the project site gathering trash and loading it into trucks and
trailers.
With the Magellan Sponsorship, we will be
giving away a number of T-Shirts, geocoins, Travel Bugs, and one
lucky volunteer will win a Magellan GPS!
Weather:
Weather in late April is usually warm and pleasant but can be
unpredictable. There is very little shade in the area we’ll
be working, so please bring sunscreen, appropriate clothing, and
plenty of water. I would suggest checking the forecast before the
project at NOAA and search Broomfield,
CO. Even if the forecast predicts bad weather, please plan on
attending. We will try to work in slightly inclement weather (cold,
light rain, wind).

Rain gear
