In partnership with a handful of wonderful agencies and organizations, including the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, WRV is working with the Chico Basin Ranch to restore a classic plains riparian (i.e., streamside) plant community essential to well being of so many birds and other wildlife. The site has been severely altered throughout the years, resulting in a dense over story of exotic Russian olive trees. These trees have been eliminated, and now the site is ready for the re-establishment of native shrubs and trees, such as golden currant, wild rose, chokecherry, plains cottonwood, coyote willow, and others. On this project, volunteers will be installing willow cuttings, container stock, and bare-root shrubs, some of which could be the product of seeds collected by WRV in 2011. We hope you can join us to help restore habitat in one of Colorado’s most important flyways – for birds that is.
