Volunteers from FedEx, along with their families, will join RMFI to complete flood mitigation and to plant native species to revegetate key areas in Black Forest Regional Park. We often find hydrophobic (water repellent) soils following fires in this region. We will scarify (till) the soil to minimize this layer and spread native seed to encourage native plant communities to reestablish in the park. We will also build erosion control structures to minimize soil loss and mitigate those downstream flows that are affecting Shoup Road and the playground equipment. 

This is a closed group event. Please return to our calendar for additional volunteer opportunities. To schedule a custom group, contact Molly Mazel, Volunteer Coordinator, (719) 471-7736 ext. 4# or molly@rmfi.org
