National Public Lands Day Naturalist Talk and Canyon Cleanup

Our National Public Lands Day project is at Silver Lake in Big Cottonwood Canyon.  We will be preparing soil, laying veg matting, and planting native plant seed!

You can park in the Brighton Store parking lot across the street from the Visitor Center, or in the Visitor Center lot.  We will meet with the Cottonwood Canyons Foundation project leaders in the picnic area of the Visitor Center at 8:30 am (there is construction in the canyon so plan for delays).  We will provide breakfast!  Upon arrival, we will complete waivers, give a safety talk, and break into working groups.

Families are welcome, but children must be supervised by an adult.  Long pants, long sleeves, closed-toed sturdy shoes, and layers are required (in case of inclement weather).  Please bring water and sun protection (screen, glasses, hat).  Bring work gloves, if you have them. Please bring a shovel or grass rake if you have one. We will provide additional gloves and tools.

Please register here so that we can arrange for your food and equipment. Contact us at slc@ldsearthstewardship.org if you have questions.
