The San Luis Valley chapter of Colorado Trout Unlimited needs your help! They are working with the US Forest Service on completing a fencing project on the Hidden Mile of the Conejos and need volunteers to help make this happen.

There are two work days scheduled for Monday, August 10th and the following Monday, August 17th. The first work day will be dedicated to installing the braces for the cables along the lower and upper boundary of the Hidden Mile. The second day will be spent installing the cables and putting together the fence. San Luis Valley would be very grateful for any help they could receive on either day, so whether you can only make one day, or both, your help would be much appreciated. If you are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity to get outside and get involved, or want to learn more details about this event, contact Marty Jones or Mark Seaton at the following phone numbers/email addresses.

Mark: (719)-588-7678 email: seaton@fairpoint.net

Tools will be provided, so no need to bring your own! All you need is work clothes, work gloves, sturdy boots, waders, safety glasses, sunscreen, a lunch, and plenty of water. Work will begin at 9am.

Directions to Hidden Mile: Go west from Antonito on Highway 17 for about 21 miles until you reach Platoro Rd. (Road 250). Turn right onto this road and continue for 4 miles. You will see the parking lot and gate on the left.
