Rain Barrel Workshop
2021-06-22 16:00 - 18:00 UTC | Mountain Tap Brewery, 910 Yampa St
Join YVSC for a fun and educational opportunity to learn about rain barrels. Come see a demonstration rain barrel, learn how to make your own, and get familiar with the best practices for use. Rain barrels are a great way to conserve water, lessen demand for treated water, and save money on your water bill. Plus, one lucky attendee will win their very own rain barrel, donated by our local Ace Hardware. Bonus, it will also be Token Tuesday! Come join us for a good discussion and have a beer for YVSC.

Yampa Valley Climate Crew - ReTree Site Maintenance
2021-06-19 08:30 - 23:50
Project Title: ReTree Site Maintenance Project Description: Come work with Yampa Valley Sustainability Council to maintain previous ReTree planting sites to ensure their growth and survivability. EASY: Walking through wet fields, fence work Project Details: The ReTree planting sites are located in Steamboat Springs on the west side of the river in Rotary Park. In addition to sequestering carbon as they grow, these trees will play an important role in shading, and thereby cooling, the Yampa River, which has seen an increase in yearly temperature due to the warming climate. We will be helping these trees grow by fixing their fencing, mulching their bases, fixing their irrigation lines, and cutting back encroaching grasses.
