Activity:
This City of Colorado Springs Parks property is popular with hikers, runners, and mountain bikers. The project will focus on hand finishing a new trail reroute and continuing maintenance of the Black Sheep trail. Project tasks may include decompacting hardened soils, moving materials such as rock and dirt, and building drains and trail structures at the direction of RMFI staff. This is moderately strenuous work using tools in the outdoors. Be prepared for a rewarding day of trail work! If you have concerns about accessibility on this stewardship day, please reach out to us, or for your reference please use our Trail Terminology Guide to learn more about this activity.

Land Acknowledgment

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.
