Brownie Points
Wanna make some brownie points with the Jamestown area?
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Greetings,
Would you like to help revitalize a natural area devastated by wildfire, while
protecting Jamestown from mud slides? Join Wildlands Restoration Volunteers
for a special mid-week project to stabilize acres of bare slopes above Jamestown
by applying straw mulch. This is a great opportunity for corporate groups, students
and anyone interested in taking a break from the office.
***We still need 10 volunteers to make this project a success! Please share
this message with others that might be interested in restoration.***
OVERVIEW
Date: Tuesday, June 6
Description: In October, 2003, nearly 4000 acres of foothills land burned in
a fast moving high intensity fire. Portions of the burn area have been restored
by a wide range of partners, including the US Forest Service, WRV, and the James
Creek Watershed Initiative (JCWI). However, a torrent of mud and debris has
flooded down from a gulch above Jamestown during major summer storms the past
two years. In 2006, WRV will collaborate with JCWI once again, and with Fire
Break Tree Services. Volunteers will spread straw mulch on acres of hillside
above town to stabilize slopes and promote water absorption into the soil. WRV
has been working with JCWI for six years, completing nearly ten projects to restore
the James Creek watershed. Number of Volunteers: 50. Min. Age: 12 with an
adult.
