2026 Project Calendars
Aspen Team's 2026 Summer Project Schedule
The Aspen Team has a full schedule of projects this summer and into the fall. Our focus is primarily on removing old barbed wire fencing from the forest to assure safety for hikers and wildlife. Aspen exclosures we built many years ago are ready for removal, so those too are planned. See the dates and activites in the chart below for details.
All projects are weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Please keep in mind last minute changes may occur to what is posted due to a variety of conditions, such as weather, changes in priorities, or availability of transportation to the work site.
Please contact Tom Mackin, our Outdoor Programs Coordinator, if you have any questions regarding the Aspen Team or information about upcoming outings, 928-814-2603.
