TRAILWORK, RESTORATION, EDUCATION – 2021 WILL BE BUSIER THAN EVER FOR Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers. As more people enjoy our region's outdoors culture, how do we ensure that trail-users become trail-participants?
Part of the answer, for RFOV, is to serve more individuals and to serve our community differently. Keep reading for examples of how our programming will expand this year – our 2021 map of community events and project sites will be published in April.
Serving More, Serving Differently
There's something for everyone at RFOV!
In 2021 we'll offer more ways to participate in our shared outdoors by bringing you up trails, over streams, and out into nature. All our programming will be included in one or more of the following categories:
Trailwork • Restoration • Community Education • Family Friendly • Young Stewards • Fire Adaptation • Social • Easy/Moderate/Strenuous • Technical • En Español • Accessible
Linkins Lake: Program Example
We're bringing the high alpine down to earth! As an example of how RFOV programming will take shape this year, at Linkins Lake we'll offer moderate-to-strenuous trailwork with technicalaspects, a community education and family friendly hike, and will showcase the ongoing commitment of our trail adopter:
March: Trail Adopted By
July: Tour the Trails Art Hike
August: Community Project
Grizzly Creek Fire: Partners in Renewal
Defiance Rafting Company is more than pushing rubber boats down a river, it is also about creating a platform for being good and doing good in our community. Defiance is committed to partnering with non-profits sharing those values for the betterment of our community and environment. We're thrilled to support local organizations like RFOV that are striving to make a difference in individual lives and the sustainability of the natural environment on which Defiance Rafting Company depends.
