Adopt a Highway Adopt a Highway Crystal England

Seeking help with Adopt-A-Roadway cleanup on Sept 21.

OLT's Conservation Committee is sponsoring a cleanup of County Road GG on Saturday, Sept 21, 2024, in accordance with our participation in the Saguache County Adopt-A-Roadway program. All members are invited to help us out - we will gather at 9:00 am at the Welcome Center. Equipment and transportation will be provided by OLT. Several OLT Board members and staff will be participating, as well as members of the Conservation Committee. We should be finished around noon.

CDOT provides a training and safety video, and each participant is required to view it before the event. If you can view it before arriving, here is a link to the video:

If you are unable to view the video ahead of time, please arrive at the Welcome Center at 8:40 am on the morning of the event, and we'll have it available for viewing.

Recent Fire Hazard Clean-up

On April 21, as part of OLT's efforts to mitigate wildfire risk, Doug Bishop led a group of eight OLT members and staff in the removal of dead wood and other fire hazards from the tent camping sites between the Welcome Center and Meadow Pond. In less than two hours, the group had the campsites cleaned up and looking good. Thanks to all who helped!
