Organizations Filed Purposes: TO FOSTER A COMMUNITY SPIRIT OF SHARED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE STEWARDSHIP AND RESTORATION OF PUBLIC, PROTECTED, AND ECOLOGICALLY SIGNIFICANT LANDS ACROSS COLORADO AND BEYOND.

NATURAL HABITATS - WRV'S CORE RESTORATION PROGRAM RESPONDS TO DIVERSE NEEDS IN OUR AREA. THE LAND AGENCIES WITH WHICH WE WORK EXPRESS GREAT SATISFACTION WITH OUR WORK, REPEATEDLY ASK FOR OUR HELP, AND RECOMMEND US TO OTHER AGENCIES. WRV IS ALSO INVOLVED IN TESTING NEW RESTORATION TECHNIQUES. IN 2019, WRV VOLUNTEERS PLANTED OVER 7,349 PLANTS, SHRUBS AND TREES, WHICH REBUILD SOIL AND CREATE FOOD, FORAGE, STRUCTURE AND SHADE FOR NATIVE SPECIES.

SUSTAINABLE TRAILS -WRV'S PHILOSOPHY WITH TRAIL WORK IS TO RE-ROUTE UNSUSTAINABLE TRAILS AWAY FROM AREAS THAT CONTAIN SENSITIVE WILDLIFE (SUCH AS RARE PLANT COMMUNITIES) OR CULTURAL SITES TO AVOID RESOURCE DAMAGE. WE ESTABLISH NEW PRECEDENT TO STOP OHV TRESPASS WHILE STILL ALLOWING FOOT TRAFFIC WHERE APPROPRIATE AND CEASE BRAIDING OF SOCIAL TRAILS BY ESTABLISHING A SINGLE ROUTE THAT ACCOMPLISHES THE GOALS VISITORS SEEK. WE CLOSE AND RECLAIM OLD TRAILS, CONSTRUCT NEW SEGMENTS AND CONNECTIONS, AND PREVENT EROSION BY MAINTAINING TRAILS. WE EVEN REBUILD TRAILS THAT HAVE BEEN DESTROYED BY FIRE, FLOOD, OR BARK BEETLES, IN MORE SUSTAINABLE WAYS. OVER WRV'S 20 YEARS, WE HAVE COMPLETED OVER 64 MILES OF TRAIL WORK, AND IN 2019 ALONE WE COMPLETED 3.75 CHALLENGING MILES.

COMMUNITY BUILDING - IN 2019, WRV BUILT AND MAINTAINED A PASSIONATE, HIGHLY SKILLED VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY THAT CARES FOR PUBLIC, PROTECTED, AND ECOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT LANDS. WRV WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE 148 RESTORATION EVENTS BECAUSE THIS GROUP CONTRIBUTED OVER 799,100 WORTH OF LABOR AND EXPERTISE. THESE VOLUNTEERS BENEFITTED 5,165 ACRES OF WILDLIFE HABITAT IN 2019 ALONE. THIS IS ONLY POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE DEDICATION OF DONORS, VOLUNTEERS, AND VOLUNTEER LEADERS. IN 2019, WRV HELD 15 COURSES AND TRAINED 132 VOLUNTEERS IN TECHNICAL, LEADERSHIP AND SAFETY SKILLS. SINCE 2003, WRV HAS TRAINED MORE THAN 3,300 VOLUNTEER LEADERS IN SKILLS INCLUDING RESTORATION DESIGN, CREW LEADERSHIP, TRAIL MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION.
