About this event
The Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership and Ouray Ice Park invite volunteers to Love Your Gorge – a fun day of hard work to cleanup and maintain infrastructure and the environment around the Uncompahgre Gorge in Ouray. Our 2026 work plan in the park includes repairing and reinforcing stairs at the Kid's Wall, picking up litter above and inside the gorge. Inside the gorge, often log moving and large metal removal is also necessary. We may pull plants from rock walls, requiring work on ropes, if advanced climbers are available. Plus, seeding the slope between Camp Bird Road and Box Canon Road is also planned, as part of an erosion control project funded by a non-point source grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Enjoy lunch donated by Ouray Grocery, giveaways donated by the organizers and sponsors, and an optional tour of the park! Thank you to our event sponsors: City of Ouray and Alpine Bank! More sponsors coming soon. And special thanks to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for the grant that allows us to address erosion in the park.
