The largest park in the Jeffco Open Space system is undergoing construction to reduce erosion on one of its most popular trails.
At nearly 4,000 acres, White Ranch Park offers more than 20 miles of trails for hikers, runners, bicyclists and equestrians to enjoy. And one section of a trail is in dire need of an upgrade.
Changes coming to Belcher Hill Trail at White Ranch Park "Currently, there's a section of trail that we've worked on several times over the past couple of decades — this trail was originally designed several decades ago," Robbins said."We're just unable to sustain that trail."JCOS is inviting registered volunteers to lend a hand on Aug. 5 as a celebration of Colorado Day, which is Aug. 1.
"This is one of what we call our Big Five Events," he continued."These are our volunteer projects where we have large group incentives large group activities. It's as simple as going onto the Jefferson County Open Space website and getting on the volunteer section and the dropdown and just signing up for this event or for one of our other events that we have coming up.
