Land Acknowledgement:

This is a community stewardship day, which we acknowledge takes place on the traditional unceded territory of the Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute), Cheyenne, and Jicarilla Apache Nations*. We acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced occupation of their territory, and we honor and respect the many diverse indigenous people connected to this land on which our stewardship days take place. 

We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds and communities. Feel free to come with a friend(s) and/or family member(s)! Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Note that most volunteer days are not suited for children under 10 years old. 

Meeting location:

Please meet RMFI staff in the parking lot at Red Rock Canyon Open Space on Bear Creek Road (link to map below). This parking lot is on the West side of the road between where the road changes from 26th Street and the intersection of Lower Gold Camp.
