Volunteer Seeding Restoration Project at the FS Puma Hills Roadless Area

Note, this event is posted on multiple forums so you must contact the project coordinator, John, directly by phone or e-mail to register.

Wild Connections is excited to announce our rescheduled Puma Hills Volunteer Restoration Project, in partnership with the Forest Service’s South Park Ranger District.

The project site is located just a few minutes north of Elevenmile Canyon Reservoir and south of US-24 in South Park. It lies about half a mile north of our 2024 Puma Hills Roadless Area seeding restoration project, where we successfully closed approximately 2.5 miles of illegal routes into the 8,800-acre Roadless Area.

During this project, volunteers will install one-third mile of wildlife-friendly fencing along a Forest Service/BLM property boundary that experiences frequent illegal motorized trespass. We will also seed and restore unauthorized routes entering this portion of the Roadless Area. The Forest Service will prepare the site in advance.

In addition to supporting elk, pronghorn, and mule deer, the Puma Hills Roadless Area provides important nesting habitat for American peregrine falcons and production areas for wild turkey.
No experience necessary!

Sorry, no dogs allowed. A carpool or caravan from Colorado Springs will be coordinated.
