Alpine Watershed Group is hosting its 21st Markleeville Creek Day
this Saturday, September 18, 2021. This event allows for the completion of important restoration work through several projects across the Carson River watershed. Volunteers will have the opportunity to plant sod plugs in Hope Valley, remove invasive weeds from meadows and riparian zones, cleanup roads as part of the Adopt-A-Highway program, provide well needed maintenance at an ADA trail, or help improve Markleeville’s downtown curbside appeal through a community beautification project.
No experience is necessary.
Participants should arrive at the Alpine County Library in Markleeville at 9:00 a.m. for registration and introductions. At 9:30 a.m. volunteers will disperse to their selected project site. Volunteers are asked to bring reusable water bottles (they will provide water re-fill stations) and sun
protection, and to wear long sleeves, long pants, and close-toed shoes. The workday will wrap up at 1:00 p.m., and a complimentary lunch will be provided for volunteers at the library park.
