River Park Work Day, Tuesday Nov 15th, 10am to Noon
Probably our last River Park work day of 2022! We'll be moving gravel around the classroom structure to level out the edges a bit, removing exposed landscape cloth from the trail, and tackling other minor clean up projects as needed. We also want to talk about a plan for rebuilding the labyrinth and see who might be interested in helping with that! Please RSVP using this link.
River Watch Training and QA/QC Event, Monday Dec 12th, Noon to 5pm
On December 12th at 3pm, representatives from the River Watch organization will be meeting us at the CSU lab in Hotchkiss to do a quality control check on our analytical methods. This is a critical element of a volunteer-run water quality testing program, and also a great time to meet with and talk to the experts. We’ve also decided this would be a great time to schedule a pre-meeting (Noon - 2:30) with River Watch volunteers where Jake will provide a comprehensive overview and orientation to the RW program and solicit input on how we can most efficiently manage our program with increased volunteer support going forward. Please RSVP to jake@theconservationcenter.org if you can join us. This event is open to both experienced and new RW volunteers.
Community Meeting, Wednesday, Dec 14th, 6pm to 8pm

Mountainfilm on Tour - Paonia: RESCHEDULED TO JAN 20
Mountainfilm is coming back to Paonia! It’s just coming back a little later than initially expected…. We originally planned to screen Mountainfilm at the Paradise Theatre on November 18, but we’ve rescheduled for Friday, January 20, to give the Paradise time to order a repair part for their projector. What better way to spend a dark, cold winter’s evening than to go to the local theater to take in some artful and inspiring films! Tickets are on sale now at : westernslopeconservation.org/mountainfilm-2022
