West Mancos River Restoration


  • Mountain Studies Institute 162 Stewart Street Durango, CO, 81303 United States (map)

Are you interested in improving habitat and stream function? Do you want hands on experience in improving our local watersheds through process-based restoration? We are looking for volunteers to assists in the creation of process-based restoration, in-stream structures, on the West Mancos River.

This includes lifting and moving heavy objects, using a hydraulic post pounder, being in posssibly cold water, and building in-stream structures to improve hydro-ecologic functionality. We will be meeting at Boyle Park in Mancos at 8:15am and will be working from 9am-4pm. We will provide PPE and request that you bring food and water, and clothing suitable for all weather conditions. We will also provide a limited number of boots and waders, if you have your own, please bring them.

Contact Dr. Jake Kurzweil at jake@mountainstudies.org to RSVP and get directions it is very close to downtown Mancos.
