thistle

Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers is teaming up with Colorado Mountain College this Saturday to pull thistles and seed an old dirt road on CMC’s Spring Valley property near Glenwood Springs.

Community project planned at CMC Spring Valley June 10

Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers is organizing a way for community members to play a part in maintaining the public mountain bike trails at Colorado Mountain College’s Spring Valley campus.

Volunteer crews are invited to dig up thistles from the perimeters of CMC’s soccer fields (and along the entrance to the campus’s trail system); and reseed an old carriage road that is not used or needed by mountain bikes. Volunteers will be rewarded with thistle lemonade, made from the very thistles crews will be pulling.

Work will run from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on June 10. The campus is located at 3000 County Road 114, Glenwood Springs. Those interested in being part of the crew can sign up at Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers.
