Repairing Waldo at The Flying W Ranch

A letter to FoRRC:

The Flying W Ranch as well as 346 homes were destroyed during the wildfire events that transpired in 2012. Since that time, the Flying W Ranch has been working diligently with local and federal authorities and hundreds of volunteers in order to protect our municipal water supply and to re-vegetate the Waldo Canyon Burn area by installing log erosion barrier structures and seeding/mulching the hill slopes and plains. We would love the opportunity to enlist your volunteers to join us for one of our many volunteer events coming up this spring, summer and fall. Your groups or individuals can join in with a pre-scheduled event or a private event (reserved for groups of 20 or more) on a day of their choosing. Our hope is to protect those down stream from us from any further devastation and with your help we feel we can accomplish just that.

To find out more information about the Flying W Ranch or if you’d like to schedule a volunteer event please contact either us (Wayne and Phyllis, 719-238-2100) or the Executive Director of the Flying W Ranch Foundation (Aaron Winter, 719-499-2324) for more details. A list of current volunteer events for March and April can be found below this message.

Once again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
