Volunteers needed for Markleeville Creek Day

The Alpine Watershed Group will be hosting the 17th annual Markleeville Creek Day on Sept. 10.

Volunteers are needed to help complete projects throughout the East and West Carson Watersheds including plantings, stream bank stabilization, invasive weed removal, protective tree wrapping, and storm drain stenciling. No experience is necessary.

Meet at the Markleeville Library Park (270 Laramie St.) at 9am for registration and introductions.  Groups then carpool to restoration project locations.

Bring work gloves, water, lunch, sun protection, and appropriate clothing.

There will be an ice cream social at 2pm when the workday is done.
